Jigging off Sydney


After a few weeks of bad weather and commitments we finally got out for a fish on sunday. It was a late start, the seas were choppy and we weren't expecting too much but 2nd drop i got a hit and third drop I landed this kingfish. The jig that did the damage was a 250 gm Zest green and gold centre weight. The seas flattened out and it turned into a beautiful afternoon. Unfortunately we couldn't find any more fish possibly due to a pod of dolphins moving through. We did however see a whale breach, its entire body getting airborne about 60 meters from the boat.. it was an awesome sight!

  2. Hey Bruce, for jigging we only really get small kings and sampsons off syd.. off Western Australia is the best place for the monster sampsons.. we get Mahi mahi and marlin during the summer and yellowfin, bluefin and mako sharks during the winter months.. if you do get over this way let me know i might be able to arrange a fishing trip
