[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 85509, member: 1305"] I'm a big believer in avoiding the crowds but in this case I would say if your not out there with an experienced river guy joining the crowd might help. This way you can see how they are drifting certain structure and the technique they are using. I do a ton of pitching jigs especially towards sundown or rise but much of the time it's vertical jiging. It takes awhile to get boat control down so your line stays vertical. I find the river eyes are often some of the easiest to catch since the spots that hold them are so readily apparent on the surface. Often a guy will jig down the run then crank up it but be mindful of other boats since one boat doing the opposite of the pack can really screw things up. Oh and be mindful near bigger cliffs they often have rocks below them. Hitting a sandbar is not a big deal but smoking a rock can wreck a day fast. [/QUOTE]
