Caught some nice fish with flutter jigs behind the shop over the last days. the two best ones in the 20"+ range got away but I managed to land and even film a couple around legal size. Last week, they wanted "horizontal jigging" while a normal retrieve prooved fruitless. Got one on film with my action pro:
Today, it was the other way round: Only a very steady and slow retrieve did the trick. The swivel version of the flutter jig will then rotate and swing from one side to the other every 2 seconds. First cast I tried this, lost a 20"+ fish. second cast, got a 17" plus undersized one on the dropper. 2 cast more and I got a barely legal one. Few minutes later the weather turned up with stormy showers of snow and rain again and I headed back in. Seatrout are also nicknamed the "fish of the 1000 casts" around here. Guess if you have a workshop by the sea you can scratch off one digit
