3kg Baldy on micro jig
Submitted by tim-o on Sat, 2014-06-28 19:16
Stopped at a spot on the way in today that showed a good school of fish and dropped a 20g jig down and was quickly eaten. Unsure of what I had, as I presumed the school to be skippy and clearly I wasnt fighting a skippy, needless to say I was suprised to catch my first baldy on a 30g jig rod! This topped off a good day with my mate Pauly (rocklobster), ended up baggin out with 2 dhus a black bum and this fella.
PS- If ya dont like the F word, dont watch the vid lol

Intersting to see it caught
Intersting to see it caught on a jig without a squid skirt assist. The baldie is one fish I was sure were more interested in eating the skirts than the acual jig itself. Fark I love this boat too, so envious!

Haha, I know! Bought some
Haha, I know! Bought some jigs off Josh from Oceanside and asked about baldys on jigs and he said the same, they go for the occy skirt. Iwas sayin yesterday, once we had our 2 dhus in the esky, how we can go about targeting a baldy wnd discussed this also. I kept sayin how I want to catch one and Paul kept reminding me of how good they are to eat. So to get one like I did, we just kept shakin our heads at each other on the way in lol, I mean, it wasnt even hooked, the hook was just under the cheek flap, I couldnt even penetrate to hook anywhere on it by hand for the pic let alone with ultra light gear. That lil jig just keeps producin, fav form of fishing atm without even having a dedicated session to it
