Tried some jigging yesterday for about 30 mins. We were out for calamari at 4am, and I tried some jigging between dusk and when my fishing buddy decided to start trolling. A fish found the jig interesting and had a go at it, but did not get hooked. Conditions were not ideal since current was practically absent and we were not drifting at all.

Hi Spiru! I haven't had any hits because I never went jigging!!

I just bought some equipment to get started, but since i do not have a boat, i need to go out with other people. My usual fishing is spinning, not the easiest way to fish but once you go out a lot, experience will help you catch. I guess jigging is similar, you have to read, research the internet, talk with people, and finally and most importantly, go fishing! You learn through your mistakes and those of others.

Once you start catching fish you will quickly start realising what works best for you and the area you are fishing.

I'm interested in Jigging too. I have a feeling its ideal for our conditions. Saw some videos on YouTube and they are quite amazing.

Does anyone know where I can find some information on how to jig, maybe videos, etc...?

that fish is a monster... Well done camkev - it must have been a wonderful feeling bringing it in!
Jigging is surely something I wanted to try out next summer and after camkev's post I'm even more convinced.

Well done camkev!!!
