Hey Rich

[Rob LaMoy]

I know in the past folks have asked me about fishing the jig n pig and I was going to try to do a video and then try to circulate it around the country to whoever wanted to see it. Well, I was thinkin' see, ya I know....dangerous! I have a buddy that could help out on this end. If I was able to make a video and convert it to electronic form, then somehow get it to you (can e-mail handle that much?) is there a way we could make it available here via your or my library for folks to download and watch? I would edit it to what ever you think is best, but would probably need at least 10 real time minutes to convey the bulk of core info. I thought about it, and the camcorder tape I use (8mm) won't play in people's VCR's. I could try converting it to VCR, but then we'd have to mail it around. This way, everyone could access it at any time and not have to wait a turn.



Let me know what you think.

Rob,

You should be able to convert your home-made movie to either an AVI or a MPEG file. Either could then be uploaded to your library for anyone to download.

I can edit a video if you send it on a DVD recored TAPE. I can then burn it onto a DVD DISK and send it back to you to make copies. I make all my huntin videos that way.

I'm ashamed to say this in public..... But.....



If you made a video, Rob, I'd buy one!

Assuming a reasonable price, of course!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! You guys are WAY beyond me on the techy/geeky stuff. I can figure out the camcorder...that's IT! LOL That's why my buddy is helping. He is a techy engineer for a communications/internet company. I'll let him figure that stuff out, I'll just stick to what I know (which ain't much), fishing!



"me"...now ya got me thinking! THERE'S how I can pay for my entry fees! LOL



Naaah, now if it were professionally filmed and we had packaging and marketing, then that would be different. I'm just going to block out some Saturday morning this month and finally do this. All I want is to share the info and teach people the technique so they can experience the thrill of big fish on a jig. You want to pay me?.....Teach it to a local kid afterwards and you're paid in full.



Now if anyone has any specific requests, let me know ahead of time. What I plan to cover is:



Equipment:

Rod, reel, line, jig, and trailer selection.



Flippin vs Pitchin "definitions".



"How to" flip/pitch and how to gain accuracy.



What to look for (structure) when flippin'.



How to disect that cover.



Color and weight selection.



Setting the hook (seems simple, but you'd be amazed how many people screw it up).



How to land/play a jig fish.



Swimming a jig.



Bottom presentations, (vertical jigging, hopping, dragging, dead sticking, etc).



Detecting a bite.

Nope, that's top secret!

As long as it's not with that pink thing you wear for special ocassions.

 

[Rob LaMoy]

I could dig out what started the whole "pink" thing....my old sun faded, formerly RED, Berkly Fishing hat. I still have it. It's been retired. Naaaah, I'll use my red Ranger hat, until IT gets faded and turns pink. Need to drop it in the drink once or twice and let it sun dry/fade on my head. Then I'll have pink hair too, and be cool. I'll blend in with the kids at my boy's school!

 

[Staci Matheis]

Uh..... Rob..... Don't forget..... If you're gonna do a video.....



Ya gotta wear makeup!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Um.....NO! I'll let you cover that dept. Pink panties for my ritual nekkid snow dance is as far as I am willing to go.

 

[Steve Rizza]

If it's a nekkid snow dance...........





where do you have the pink panties.......?





Never mind......some thing are better left unknown.
