Jigs are awesome. There are not many lures better than a jig. BUT, why is is that the only person who gets them on jigs in San Diego is Mike Long? I don't know why, I mean I do because he's Mike, but those clear lakes with heavy weeds like San V, Dixon, Poway (less weeds), etc are tough lakes, and you sure don't hear about anyone nailing them on jigs very often.

I think if I was going to try to get bit on jigs I'd go with browns and greens mostly. I'd probably scale my jig down to a smaller size (except for sight fishing) and I'd use lighter line, florocarbon 10 to 15lb test if possible. One thing I would try for sure, and I was actually thinking about this last night because I have some buddies down your way and I read all the SD reports and stuff, was using PORK. A piece of brown or olive super pork. 3x1" or bubba pork even. I was playing with some different pork trailers in the fish tank last night and I bet you could get bit on a jig and pork down there if you stuck with it. I'd also use twin tails on a smaller jig like the Assalt Stand Up jig. The stand up jig is tied really "punk" like with hair sticking out everywhere, and it tends to bounce off of weeds better and not clog up, especially if you go down to 1/4oz.

All you gotta do is take your jig and go out and BELIEVE that you will get bit. It will happen.
