Out on the firth this morning, sea was flat as but water was quite a bit colder than a couple of weeks ago. I had picked up some jerkshads from Kaveman so I was keen to try them out.

Fishing in 12 metres there was a good bit of current as I was drifting along a bit too fast for my liking. This is where micro jigs work well, because of their shape they get to the bottom quickly and stay in the zone longer.

I was dragging the Kaveman Shad’s on a 5/8 jig head and they worked really well picking up some nice fish on them around the 400 size. These are good quality for the money well worth checking out.

Came home with 7 snapper caught on both micro jigs and soft baits. On the water at 7.30 and home by 10.00 for a feed of fresh snapper and fried eggs.

Telecaster wrote: I don't really report much, but lately I have been out most weekends off the north side of the peninsula, catching fat pannies on 40-80g kaveman kaburas. A lot of the fish are spitting up bits of crab and mantis shrimp, so I think the kabura is a good match. Interestingly, I have tried ledger rigs with pilly chunks and fresh jack mackerel alongside the kabura, and the bait rigs are not even close to catching as many. Nothing massive, average is mid to late 30 range, with the odd one up over 50cm. Excellent condition though, and makes for a cheap day out. Got 7 snapper and 2 nice gurnard this afternoon. A bit of breeze seems to help although it was pretty snotty out there today, and a rough ride home.

very interesting what colour and what depth
