Jig fishing in muck

The area that i fish has a muck covered bottom and I Do very well with jigs in there.. The key is to go as big as possible with the smallest weight possible. Bigger profile+lighter weight= slow fall. But also key in on the structure of the water. besides a pond or lake with a muck bottom is probably going to be somewhat stained anyway and the fish will being holding relatively close to the structures. So fish the structures or and points or sandbars. You should have some pretty good luck. And the last thing is dont give up.. Jig fishing is very slow and and you have to perservere through the hours of fishing so slow but you will usually get some great results. BIG Bass like jigs. When i was younger and just starting into my jig fishing experience I would use a jig for half and hour and not catch a fish. Its jsut because I was using the wrong one in the wrong area.. Keep fishing it until you find what works best for that body of water.. Good luck
