Title: Night time jigg
Post by: chris coates on September 21, 2011, 09:07:26 PM

Hey I was just wondering wether anyone has ever jigged at night and if so what jigs did you use and what did you catch?
I'm going on a liveaborde off broom next month and i want to maximize fishing time. I herd that doggies are night time feeders but yeah be cool to be able to have a crack on the jig.
