Jerkbaits and Jigs are this years projects!

As soon as the ice is off the lakes, there are no 2 better lures to throw in my opinion.  Take 2 rods with you on your first couple trips.  One with a jig and one with a jerk.  No better time to learn either than in the early spring.

PM me your Info. I can take you out on St Clair and show you a few things. As for tournament Fishing The ABA is a great place to get started they have low fees and a great group of guys. I got my start there I fished as a co angler with them for 4 years. And learned a ton.
