Top rankin
And on a placky that deep. Was thinking the same about jig head. I have trouble with the tidal flow in Dampier to get the plackies below 30m.
Change to metal jigs in that depth.

I have problems with even them at a particular spot I fish. The tidal current rips through and the drag it creates just balloons the line. Not so bad with jigs.
Got to get out there this weekend!!!!!

i know where you're talking
i know where you're talking about and it only gets to 25m deep but a wicked amount of line out, worth it though when it slows down

Been said mate but great fish
Been said mate but great fish on plastic.
One of the better rankins I've seen in a while!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
