Bluegill, Bass, and the Lost Art of the Jigger Pole
Friday, 8 May, 2026
This week on the Mobile Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, Nick Williams talks with Darren Shirah of Reel Time Outdoors with Darren about rainy-day fishing, the current bluegill bite, and why a little rough weather does not have to ruin a trip in the Delta. Darren explains how he fishes through scattered showers, what makes certain rainy days productive, and why bream, shellcracker, bass, and goggle-eye can still be caught when most folks stay home.The episode also turns into a great discussion of old-school Delta fishing tactics, especially jigger pole fishing for bass. Darren breaks down what a jigger pole is, how he rigs it, where he fishes it, and why topwater bites around cypress trees, deadfalls, and bank cover can be so violent when the conditions line up. Along the way, Nick and Darren talk fish fries, cleaning bream, fishing traditions, fly rods, splatting bugs, and why the best fishing methods are often the ones that are simply fun.SPONSORSDixie Building SupplyEastern Metal SupplyBlack BuffaloSlipSki
