i always give half to decky. and one always goes to my mum and dad .and other half to my wifes oldies..i only keep 1 ..the only reason i ask about jigs i reckon it would be good fun...most jigs catch fisherman rather than fish,,i would like to know colour and brand..
in the shallow stuff like that, i would deffs try the placcies have worked well for me in the past especially for snapper! you can also try the 40 gram pirate jigs by daiwa, not sure if they work at night though
I use berkley gulp jerk shads, in the pink shine and nuclear chicken, both glow, but these dry out when left out of their marinate. 1/4 to 3/8 nitro jighead weights in 10ish meter depths and 3/0 hook size for 5" shads and 5/0 for 7". These work good too, even if left in rod holder, fish will pickem up and when u lift, sets the hook. Even caught occy and cuttlefish on them! Flick the baits out, and work a placcie. Be good if bait companys sold cubed mulies imo
Z-Man StreakZ XL 8 inch in Baby Bass & Smokey Shad ( Dark colours ) but Opening night for the brighter colour
7 inch Bullhead minnow in glow and pink
The key is to run a heavier jig head at that "area" like 1oz (yes sounds heavy) but twitch it on the bottom..........awesome
As for other areas i fish for snapper in the Sound ie broken ground and lumpy stuff I work lighter jigheads ie 3/8 to 3/4 and the same SP but twitch em up through the water column!!

U getem all on baits? Why not try placcies only one time or troll bibbed lures, dunno bout night time trollin tho. Freezers full I bet
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Wonder if jigs work at night.
Wonder if jigs work at night. Dunno if people use them in shallow ground, placcies work good tho. Maybe octo style jigs?????

Hay RT, I heard those zmans
Hay RT, I heard those zmans are pretty tough too, are they 'scented' aswell?
