Jigging for Reddies

<< < (2/3) > >>

Graham Scott:
If you score a big slab of hussar on a 9/0 as  10 out of 10 then this would be my score for the other methods;
Bait....10
Gulp or other large scented sp....8
Big blades................................... 7
Octa, lucanis, etc.........................4
Knifes..........................................1

I have been anchored on a big school of reds, with say 4 or 5 hooked up at any time, cut off my bait, tied on a jig, dropped it down...and caught a little trevally, then a hussar, then nothing, then gave up, while it continued to rain reds around me. Have tried a few different sizes and styles without success.  Maybe I'm just hopeless?

It might change in very deep water, we fish between 40m and 60m.... normally about 42m. Might be a bit better in say 120m??

Bernard Tracey:
Maybe I'm just hopeless!! Seems like a common theme when I broach this subject. Perhaps we should give up while we still can.

Problem is, I'm not sure I can let it go now.

Marko Pekic:
gulp is baitt :) i struggled to catch reds on artificials altogether in exmouth but bait got smashed every drop. Sometimes bait just has to be used for me :)

John Sykes:
The only real success I have had has been on "Slow" style jigs specifically the lucanus in Pink only. For some reason they only go the pink in my area. Fingermark love them too.

Graham Scott:
Hi John,
