Chaohuang Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Weather turned out to be worse than the forecast, with quite strong winds making it uncomfortable. However, we still managed to catch some barracouta, long fin perch, nannygai, kingfish, sergeant baker, snapper, leatherjackets, all with slow jigs. I have been told over and over again that sometimes the fish just won't bite lures, but till this day I still don't believe in this saying. For predatory species, so long as you get the presentation right, lures work just as well if not better than bait, even live bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flickn Mad Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Nice bag mate. I agree, if fish are gunna eat they are gunna take a well presented lure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, we released quite a few of the barracouta and a rat king, but still got a good feed. That's right, presentation is so important. Mate, Kudos to you again showing how its done. Thanks, hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaohuang Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 great catch mr huang! we share the same name lol. how heavy is that jig!? can't believe that little fish attack it as well At 12 miles where the sea is about 100 meters deep, we use anything from 200-400g depending on the current. Yes, slow jigging opens up new frontiers for jigging, even the smaller predatory species can be caught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoRetired Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Nice catch. I fished the Peak last week and the current was so strong that I was struggling to hold the bottom, even with big sinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Thanks, I just hope to introduce these new techniques to Australia. Slow jigging has already been widely accepted in South East Asia and Europe while the States are also gradually picking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, slow jigging is effective on a wide variety of fish and the best part is, even a skinny guy like me can do it all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
