    Re: Jigging

    T was atoss between Shimano Baku Baku or Daiwa kohga, the daiwa replacable skirts so i assumed it was a lesser product than the baku

    I chose to try these jigs as im not an aggressive fisho and these jigs u drop and reel in slowly no jigging needed all though they are classed as micro jigs

    Also where the biggest squid grounds are in the port hacking is only a couple hundred meters from the open water snapper spot and just as close to the flatty grounds

    I was thinking exactly the same thing

    My starting point would be 20m (in low light periods) .

    Anything shallower & it would be a lightly weighted placcy or soft vibe cast ahead of the boat ( I usually spotlock) .

    I just don't have the confidence that the boat & associated noise would not be spooking fish directly under the boat ....... so I don't waste my time .
    Even bait fishing for snapper etc in less than 15m - I cast well away from the boat & I'm yet to be outfished by someone fishing straight up & down in that situation .......

    There's a spot I regularly lure fish for Snapper that's about a 2 minute run from the ramp, and only from 8-12m deep, the boat noise doesn't seem to spook them as I am pretty successful at that spot, mainly in the late afternoon, but then, there's a spot out deep that I fish (if conditions are right) that produces using the same gear. Who knows what really goes on in a fishes "mind"

    Fishes mind

    lower light period is probably the key in your case .

    My last trip to Evans Head (May) ..... middle of the day - mostly clear sky , pretty flat seas in 6m of water & we're catching quality fish on floating pillies

    Really cool to have a mate come down & experience what I had talked up for months in advance

    What was so special though is that every other boat in the area buggered off - incl the local charter boats & moved to deeper water - the fishing for us just got better.....

    I called into the Marsden Park BCF yesterday & they had the Savage version (Cuttle Eye) in various sizes up to 135g for $10 each in the bargain bin . So I picked up a couple for the Whitsundays Trip .
    Last time I was up the Whitsundays I lost my only 2 in a matter of minutes on unstoppables ......... come to think of it , I should have grabbed a few more .
