From the ages of maybe 5-7 I was jigging in the spring and fall on the river. Summers were spent at new johns or sak with walker lindy’s or jigs and winter was spent in Dad’s homemade 4x8 plywood icehouse watching a bobber. Ages 7-13 I spent a little time in the boat with the above tactics but mostly wanted to be with my brother and cousins from sunup until sundown shore fishing the banks of the primitive campgrounds near pick city. Lindys and floating jigs mostly. In my teens jigs were still used but bottom bouncers became the major boat tool. I spent some time pitching jigs in the honey hole or raps in the tailrace with cousins through these years as well. When I finally purchased my own boat I’ve continued using the above tactics I’ve spent a lifetime with but have added in pitching jigs and jigging raps. Dad and I have also recently decided to finally quit fighting a hatred for pulling cranks and found you can teach old dogs new tricks. This is a great thread V and the memories have flooded back from an incredibly lucky 40+ years of chasing ND greenbacks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
