Fishing solo, I launched my small boat onto Jiggs Lake -- No outboards are allowed. Fished most of the shoreline and caught one bass -- 16 inches, 2 pounds, 4 ounces. The fish hit a Floating Rapala -- size 11 in the bleeding pearl pattern. Saw about a half dozen nice largemouth crusing the shoreline and they all looked bigger than the fish I caught. Warm, sunny day with a light variable breeze.

Thanks Kev -- will be sending Mike a more complete overview with photos soon. The launch area is best suited for hand carried craft. I launched a small trailered boat but loading it was tough.

Is this lake off a dirt road and has a house right next to the launch with a log that's in the water by the launch, I think it might be the lake that my friends and I used to fish at a few years ago but I'm not sure if it is, if so it's good for those smaller bass that he's holding.

I haven t fished Jigg's Lk in 6-7 years. Thought some one bought the land with that newer house and gates.

Hey Trent, Yeah there is a big new house on the lake now but there is also a county park with a narrow access to the lake. It's best suited for hand carried craft.

Thanks for the info,this looks like a nice little lake. I imagine it sees very little pressure.
I fish Mason County often but not familiar with the Maggie Lake area,is this on the Key Peninsula?

Hey Kev - Jiggs Lake is located about 2 miles NE from Tahuya - just off the Belfair-Tahuya Road. And, yes, it probably recieves little bass pressure and hopefully most anglers will put the bass back. The lake is quite small at only 8.8 surface acres.

Thanks again, I will certainly be giving this lake a try...might even give it a shot over Memorial Day weekend.
I'm planning on spending a few days at the Mason property(Lake Arrowhead)
Thanks again Bob,I really appreciate it.
