September 13th saw the Jones's Tackle crew and customers heading off Cape Moreton on another jigging foray. The game plan was to fish the shallow reefs chasing Amberjack & Kingfish on the lighter jig tackle. This type of light jigging is mostly using 100-200 gram jigs and some of the best fun you’ll ever have with a jig outfit. Schooling fish and light gear can make for fast and furious action. After this we headed out to deep marks in 100-150m to rustle up some Pearlies and Kings. Boat skills are really important out here; pinpoint positioning using sounder and GPS is a must to get your jig amongst the fish. The Kingfish at this depth are often only slightly bigger than the shallow water schooling fish but the Pearlies can be XOS with 3-4kg specimens not uncommon.
A range of jig styles were practised and refined on the day; the less experienced jiggers on board took home new techniques that will do wonders for their confidence and catch rate in the future.
Jones’s Tackle offers jigging trips for customers who have purchased their gear through the store. Anglers with any level of experience are welcome; a typical group on board will range from first timers to seasoned jiggers.
Experienced staff members are always on hand to help with rigging and jigging techniques.
