Hi Guys,

I'm pretty new to jigging/popping. Recently moved to Socal and wonder what method popping or jigging would be good for yellow tail. Any feedback would be appreciate.

Thanks,

Brandon Khoo:
Jigging is the most recognised method for yellowtails. I have heard a number of people discussing areas where they are a viable target for poppers but have yet too see solid evidence of this. If I saw this, I'd be there!

In the deeper water -30mtr plus and assuming your in a boat, I would definatley agree that Jigging is most popular/effective method. Yellowtails are such a curious and competative fish..... in saying this, hear in Morton Bay, which is mostly 10mtr or less making jigging very hard then popping is heaps better-if you can find the typical King haunts you will have far further success popping for them, spots to look for are just structure with good current that bait likes to hang around. If you need proof Brandon head up my friend - I can show you any time, they are not always big but they do love the poppers and I am sure you will love the visual hook up- the bigger fish make a bow wake as 4 or 5 try to out muscle each other then smash your popper.

The pic says it all and yes that is a popper in his mouth.......- we have caught many this way after figuring it out.

Pete, I will definitely take you up on that!

Yellowtails are awesome and if you can find them at a decent size where they are a viable target on poppers, I'll be there! Let's talk at Shoalwater!
