Chaohuang Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, I am from Sydney and helplessly boatless, would love to go out and give a hand on the boat and even show you how to slow jig if you are interested. I have been fishing for more than 10 years and have really been digging into slow jigging for the last 5. Slow jigging is still very much new to Sydney and I would be glad to help spread it. Spent quite a lot on charters before, but have gained experience on how to slow jig in our local waters, from pigs and john dory from the shallow reefs to albacore and gemfish from the depths out wide, all can be caught with this method. Trips to spots deeper than 70m are of interest to me (the deeper the more exciting) and I only do lure fishing and have not touched real bait for a long long time. I am available most days of the week, preferably week days. More than willing to pay my share of fuel, drinks etc. Edited November 7, 2016 by mshuangchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amkr Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I usually head out solo from Botany bay in a 5m half cabin. I usually come back solo with no fish too, If you're keen on having a go at the FAD's and some of the closer reefs then you're welcome aboard... as long as you help find the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weathers been crappy and the water temp is not high enough, probably just a awkward time of year, have not been doing as much fishing as I want... 2 hours ago, amkr said: I usually head out solo from Botany bay in a 5m half cabin.

Raymondo Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks mate, thought so. Caught one last trip but my mate reckons it wasn't. Are they a good table fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravinggg Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Hey dude so how slow do you actually do the jigging? I've done some jigging with one of the best sports fishermen in AU up in Darwin few months back and it was pretty much cast, jig and wind back very quickly over and over again. That is all he does and swears by it. Didn't catch anything worthwhile especially considering how much effort it took. Nice dories by the way!

xerotao Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Using a slow pitch jigging rod. All you do it spin the reel 1 or 2 turns of the handle and the actual rod does the action of "jigging" a lot less strenuous than mechanical jigging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Slow jigging is not as simple as just jigging in slow motion, you can say it is a whole new technique, this should be a good source of info for you: http://www.anglers-secrets.com/slow-pitch-jigging/ Chao H.
