Thank you for the videos. I've been been fishing up in the Sierras for 30+ years. Over the years i have fly fished, crawlers, powerbait, thomas buoyants, castmasters, spinners, mini jigs, marvel fly with water bobble, drop shot with miniworms. I have pretty much tried everything I have prob caught the most fish with the buoyants (red/gold). With some really good days and some really bad days. I have seen you and others absolutely kill it up there 50+ fish on the mini jigs. I like to adapt to my surroundings but couldn't catch anything with the mini jigs (wrong technique) while standing 30 feet from you.
I went up this weekend with the new set up. I bought your 180 yd 4lb braid. I first backed 3 reels with 20lb braid then top shot the reels with 60 yards of your line then added about 8 feet of the 4lb floral carbon you suggested. First day I tried your technique at Grant and June with no success and quickly gave up. We were at Little Virginia the next day and everyone was catching fish. So I knew the fish were there I tried the mini jigs and had to learn the speed and up down movement. Once i got the movement down i had a really good day with the MJ. We went to Mary in the afternoon and caught a few in the 3lb range at one of the inlets with the MJ while others were not catching fish. The MJ definitely takes patience and i still have a chit ton to learn. I'm using a 6'9" one piece St Croix UL fast action. This is my shore rod. it seems to cast well enough and I might upgrade to a longer medium fast soon. I also float tube and use the same st croix in the 6 ft version. Its harder for me to deal with longer poles while in the float tube Is the re a 6 foot ul mf rod that you would recommend. $150-400 range?
Thanks again.
Thanks for the support and so glad you’re starting to get the technique. I definitely don’t recommend not using a entire spool of braid on each reel 60yards is not a good idea if you ever hook a big one and time to time you should cut 10 ft off now and then when the line loses it’s color and starts to get old . I don’t know any shorter rods I never use less then a 7’6 even on my float tube you definitely want that cast ability and a longer rod puts more of the fight in the rod when fighting a big fish .
@@GoldenStateFishing I have over 150 yards of ultra thin 20lb braid backing + the 60 yards of 4lb braid for a total of 200+ yards of braid. All my spinners have this braid backing that i never have to change out. when i run low on my 2lb or 4lb top shot i add more to my 150 yards of backing.
if i get spooled on 200 yards of line its time to batten down the drag and hope for the best.
i always hated changing out and throwing away line that was half way down the spool. Now i don't have to. I hope this makes sense.
Your fishing knowledge has helped my fishing improve by 75% .Thank you for sharing. I caught a seven pounder on a Tiffany blue minnow. Now I catch more fish.🎣 fish on!😂😂
That’s awesome for sure 🙌🏽 thanks for the support and keep on improving and fishing whenever you can . Fish on 🎣
Just got some spartan minnows from you guys. Thank you for the hook installation video.
Thank you and enjoy 🎣
I went fishing this weekend bought orange mini jig from you I pulled in three nice tout all over 4 pounds what a luck day on a ugly stick combo from wall mart awesome videos you make otter creek my favorite lake
That’s awesome 👏🏽 yes you can catch on any combo but you’ll definitely feel the difference on something better . Thanks for the support. I’ll be at otter end of October
Thanks bro that video really helps me I am not new to fishing trout or salmon but using jigs that I am going to give it hell next weekend
Thank you 🙏 sounds good I’m sure you will get em .
Excellent instructional video. It really helps to listen and watch your video.
Thank you so much 🙏
That 395 sign is 🔥
Thank you 🙏
Luv the video. Luv the breakdown. Can't wait to check out ur drop shot video.
Thank you glad you liked it 🙏 yes I’ll get to the drop shot video soon
Great video Sensei Estevan! Nice story about how you started jigging with Mark K. I picked up some great tips from you!
Hope you can do a detailed video on jigging techniques in the future. Congrats on the beautiful baby Sierra!
Haha 😂 definitely no sensei . Definitely could do a part 2 video . Thank you 🙏 Sierra is going to be the fishing one ☝️ she is going to have a outdoor life kids should have .
Good informative video,good for beginners too showing them cheaper set ups to start with being a patawan than graduate in due time to someday become a Jedi master like myself lol,love the video,see you guys in Utah next month!!
Lol 😂 I don’t want anyone buying expensive stuff even though I sell expensive stuff tell they are sure they are going to stick with it . See you brotha should be a epic fall .🎣
Thanks I enjoyed the video. I have a mirage and iron feather blank and will probably build them for this style. I’m sure it will work for other species as well. 👍
Thank you 🙏 that will definitely work great for jigging
Great information, thank you👍
Thank you glad you enjoyed it
Great video good information bud... hope to see ya on the water.
Thank bro . I’m sure you will . Fish on !
@@GoldenStateFishing congratulations on your baby girl
@@donaldstephensen8654 thank you brotha
Great video as always my man!🤙🤙🎣🎣
Thank you so much 🙏
Awesome video my brotha!!! 🤘
Thanks bro it took me only 2.5 years to do another one lol 😂
@@GoldenStateFishing LOL
Nice video Estevan! Question, when using the drop shot method do you recommend straight mono or combining braid to fluoro?
Same thing if your new to drop shot definitely use mono or you can use straight fluorocarbon using braid for drop shot is extremely hard even harder then for jigging.
Great video Estevan. Been looking forward to more "how to" videos. Heading up to the Loop first week of October. Rob gave me a tip on what clips to use. Still trying to set up that charter day. I'm in Hesperia, let me know. Thanks
When is the GSF site going to take members again?
Thank you 🙏 hope you get them up there . When season starts or gets near just let me know we can lock in a day . I’ll get the membership fixed very soon
What blanks did he use for the longer ultra lights?
@@Ninj_SRG we have our own blanks made in Japan definitely check out out Katanas on our website www.goldenstatefishing.shop
@@GoldenStateFishing oh I mean the rod builder that passed away. Do you know what blanks he used?
@@Ninj_SRG oh mark .. in the 90s he had some blanks he started will not sure what they were then he went to GLoomis blanks like there imx and GLX when Gary Loomis actually made them then he had his own blanks made after shimano bought loomis .
What are you thoughts on using those micro metal clips ("Quick Fly Fishing Snaps") to attach your mini jig hook eyelet to the 4 lb fluorocarbon bumper leader? I see you like to reverse thread the tube onto the hook to avoid having to retie, but metal clip much faster and easier. Do you feel the clip negatively effects the action of the tube? Do trout shy from the clip? Great video. Learned a bunch! I too had a fishing mentor. He changed my whole approach on how I fish. I enjoyed hearing the story about yours and how it related to Mini Jigging.
Thank you 🙏 I know lots of guys that use the clips but mentally for me I just can’t do it I feel it does mess with action a little bit that’s enough for me I’m stuck in my ways lol but doesn’t mean don’t give it a try I know lots of successful friends that kill it with using one . Yes I owe mark everything my life today is what it is because him . 🙏🏔️🎣
Ain’t nothin to it
But too do it mannnn I can’t wait for this season for my local lakes to stock bruhhhh I need a lightening
There is definitely a difference in skill level with jigging . yes there’s not lots to start with but to make perfect retrieval speeds on every cast and know all depths and water columns are where experience comes in . I catch lots of big fish bc I never waste a cast . Lightning are fun and fight hard .
@@JesusISGod109 your right they must see it . But for that to happen you must figure out where they are in the water column and trust me speeds always always always matter . Stocked or wild you still got to see what they want . If you get it all correct instead of catching 3 one day you might catch 30 .
@@Frogchamp-ev4ctwho cares ? Most of these guys fish other species as well, let people do what they want. I can have just as much fun trout fishing as I can tuna fishing or any other type of fishing.
@@Frogchamp-ev4ct If it's so easy you should post a video of all the Giant trout you catch. And you honestly think he can't cast a baitcaster also?
@@Islamslayerufc who said we’re out here fishing play dough im out here fishing lead heads an mini jigs, baby minnow an I know how fish a bait caster I can cast both hands no problem barley any back lash down playing trout fishing is for the weak I catch bigger bass then you anyday
395!!
Have you tried the 6lb Orange by phenix? I cant find 5lb or 4lb anywhere. The specs says its the same as 5lb. Do you have any other braid recommendations?
No I haven’t tried it I still have a few new spools but will look for something else soon I’ll let you know what I find out
When rigging the minnow, is the hook supposed to come out the top of the minnow or the belly of the minnow? Thank you.
It definitely will come out on the top of the minnow
A 2" dark colored tube jig on a 1/16 th ounce jig head, catches a lot of trout here in Utah. All the streams and lakes have leaches in them.
Think the trout mistake the tube jigs for leaches? Caught several 25 to 30 inch browns and tigers on them.
This might make you mad???
I hate power bait and would ban it if I could. No one wants to go home after catching a four fish limit, so they try to release gut hooked fish. Dead fish floating all over Panguitch lake, where I fish.😖
Oh I know it happens everywhere I baiters . have you seen all my Utah videos I fish there lots I was at panguitch around Halloween
Have a cabin a few miles up the road from the lake. I go down and have coffee at the Panguitch lake store with Tina and the guys in the mornings. If your up there next summer stop and I'll buy you a cup.
@@gladegoodrich2297 that sounds good I’ll probably be out there for ice off in spring .
Come try the trout fishing at eagle lake ca before it closes off
I’ll definitely check it out
How far would you consider is a good cast with a mini jig 1/32? 1/64? 1/16 ?
That’s hard to say if you have the correct equipment you’re good . If you got a ultralight 7’6 or 8ft and 2lb or braid I’m sure your casting far enough
What size line and jigs do you use on Pyramid?
I use our 4 inch super tubes with a 1/8 head . The plastic weighs 1/8 itself so the bait comes in a little over 1/4 in the end
come to bakersfield we got some good jiggers down here
I do want to try bueno vista some day
its go great right now 5000 pounds was stocked just last week and lots of trophy trouts in there @@GoldenStateFishing
Did you know that Kobe’s highest scoring game was his 666th career game, and on his last game they gave out helicopters. . . I hope I can take what you have showed here to help me land a fish with a mini jig. Been trying for years but end up using a drop shot.
Thank you 🙏 definitely practice makes perfect you should try only using a mini jig maybe for a few fishing trips and it will happen and your confidence will go up and you will want to use it more.
@@GoldenStateFishing I work 2 jobs so I don’t have a lot of free time. So I don’t like to fish just to cast over and over. The last few times I’ve switched half the time with jig and half with drop shot. Maybe it’s the line I use 4lb vanish floro. I’ll have to save a while to get a new setup.
Can you effectively jig in streams/rivers or is this primarily for lakes/ponds? Thanks for making these videos... Looking forward to upping my "fish on" game with mini jigs and minnows!
Thank you so much 🙏 you can definitely do it in moving water but it’s a little different. You must cast up stream and let the bait drift back towards you while jigging and reeling in the slack from the current. Like any river fishing look for slower spots where fish will be hanging out in .
If you ever go to Japan their ultralight trout fishing is a whole different ball game over there and the reels and rods are beautiful! Some of their techniques are poetry in motion. But anyways From my experience jigging for crappie with mini jigs to Trout. Using a Moderate/Moderate Fast action 7’6” rod works best. Using a “Fast” action rod isn’t as proficient due to it being flimsy therefore when you cast the tip of your rod will bend down and cause your jig to not reach farther distances or worse. So I recommend Okuma Guide Select Pro because it’s Moderate Fast which is perfect. Better than Daiwa Presso and Phenix Rods(eventually I’ll buy one though). For line I’ve been using Phenix but after a while using it I still go back to using Berkley Nanofil because Phenix Braid gets frail after not using it and you will lose fish. And as for spinning reels I use Daiwa Exceler(new and old one) due to it being not so expensive(99 bones) But that Seaguar Fluorocarbon is top notch 👌 expensive but worth it 🔥
Our Katana rods we make are moderate fast I totally agree. All my reels are Japanese that’s all I use I hate American stuff plus there reels are all shallow spool made for braid . I hate phenix rods but there is a couple models that aren’t too bad . Yes I only use Tatsu Seaguar for my leader .
@@BCoutofdoors yeah I noticed something was wrong. Luckily I have 2 spools left 👌
I’ve owned the guide, select pro and the phoenix, Mirage, and dragonfly from my experience. The guide select feels undoubtably cheap, compared to a dragonfly or Mirage less sensitive and too stiff to bounce a jig and low quality guides decent spoon rod through
Yes guides especially make a huge difference that’s why we only use Fuji torzites they cost about $100 a set but way worth it .
@@anthonyramirez8631Yeah I’ve tested the phenix rods and I did notice the difference. In my experience the only thing that’s cheaper is the reel seat. It starts to separate over time. But for a cheaper setup I recommend the guide select pro and Daiwa exceler LT or Shimano Nexave which cost less than $80. But if you’re mini jigging your rod shouldn’t be too flimsy because you won’t be able to cast far and you’re going to have knots at the tip because your rod will take time to revert back so essentially you’re just going to be casting down. That’s why I love the guide select pro because it’s moderate fast/fast action so it flips back up and helps with casting the jig farther.
So I still don't know what jig fishing is.
