Good Morning,
Just started single jig fishing for fluke from shore and I’m having a really hard time. I’ve purchased your videos and watched them all. It looks so easy but when I tried I just felt like I was blind with my jig. I had no idea if it was on the bottom, if I was fishing in the right conditions/beach, or using the proper rod. I have a jigging world FNS 7’-6” ML rod. Only reason is because I’m huge fan of jigging world products. The rod feels a little stiff to me for the tight line jigging. But I don’t know. I live on Long Island and have been fishing on south shore ocean beaches. Just super frustrated.

John
