In the past few years, I have fished countless waters, Used hundreds of lures and caught countless fish. My new obsession is Nicknamed "doodle rigging" Casting over branches either overhanging or submerged and Jiggling your bait at the surface of the water. We have all probably fished at a lake or pond where there is a clear access spot to the water. Then there are spots that you have to hike through thick brush, nettles and mud to get to, some of them you cant even take a decent cast from...that is where "doodle rigging" shines. Doodle rigging can be achieved with a senko, pig and jig, or just about anything weedless...Although I have done it with crank baits and spinners, but its not recommended unless you use heavy line. Usually it prompts a topwater like strike and the weight of the fish unhinges your line and lure. I have had to wade out and unhook a few fish because they did not drop and it was not fun, but the amount of fish I have caught in hard to reach spots has doubled....I am going to try to catch it on film this year...Anybody else ever "doodle rig"
