Thunder Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The seas are only going to be 1.5 metres next week, so it is a lot less than 5 metres, but unless you have a decent size boat you will be staying inside the Harbour. The water is currently brown and there is a lot of debris coming through, so you had better be careful. They are also predicting rain for the next week, and if Pete is around, expect a downpour. I would put it off until the next week. Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scon Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi All, I am going out off-shore off Sydney hopefully to jig up my 1st big king in a few week's from now and i am just wondering Is or are there any certain brand(s),size(s) (weight's) and colour or colour's of the jigs that i should take with me?? any tips, pointers or advice greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE A Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 fisherman_Sam, it all depends on how deep the water is that you’re jigging in. I use no less than 250g jigs when jigging in 100-130m of water. If you only want to buy a couple of jigs, you can't go past the Daiwa Sacrifice Stick Jig. This is how one of my mags describes the jigs. I hope this helps. A versatile bottom jigging lure for a broad variety of game fish. The unique shape creates a slow fluttering on the sink while shoulders cause the bait to swim when retrieved. Detailed prism scale finish and 3-D eyes. The lure's "Wing" shape creates a slow, fluttering action on the sink for greater time in the strike zone. It also reduces cranking resistance on the retrieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith make some good Jigs that are used in Japan alot . SW LAB also make some great jigs but i hear that they have closed down now.... River2sea have a good range of jigs, these are a cheaper more affordable option in comparison to the Daiwas. Zest also has a good range.... I think when jigging its just a matter of having a good variety and giving them a try Edited June 19, 2007 by netic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
