Hugo 120 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Witnessed a guy pull in a 50cm flathead at Moonta Bay jetty recently on a cheapie jag. Interested to know what other fish species you have caught on a humble squid jig? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4THALOVE 45 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I muffed a cast at end of port vic jetty and wound it in lightning fast and it got smashed by either a snook or a couta but as I went to pull it up it bust off either a crappy knot or its teeth hit my line was more pissed about losing my Yozuri oita jag $25 when they first came out :c :c :c :c cheers 4THA Squid Flaps 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotare 491 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Like others, I've hooked quite a few snook with the youzuri jags. Most of the time they fall off they when you try to lift them into the boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 snook and flathead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Savage 297 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 The old boy has bought in a cuda before, but that was some time ago (also off the old Rapid bay jetty when the conveyor belts were still there).But at the beginning of the year, 2 of my mates and I went away on the boat and my mate must have jagged a resting or passing sting ray cos it went on a SCREEEEAMING run for about 80m until it straightened all the barbs on 1 side of the jag. Lets just say his face looked like a smacked a$$ cos he was like WTF hahahha.Was pretty surprised about that one also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Girth 1 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Snook, flathead and a tommy :silly: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Snook, coota and a big salmon, the salmon was caught on the jig after stealing a squid off it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Flaps 5 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I remembered a recent event that had slipped my mind because i didn't win the fight I was fishing two rods off both corners at the end of Brighton Jetty, one with a jig that i was working and one with a small jag and fresh Tommy.Old Italian Fred, regular on the jetty calls out that my rod is going off. The drag is screaming on the rod with the Tommy jag and i start to fight whatever is on the end. This outfit has a 4000 shimano and 15lb line. Fought hard for about 5min, line goes slack, bring up the jag, tommy gone and the jags spikes were all bent the other way. We reckoned it was a small bronzie at a guess.

billygoat-ruff 25 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Not really a catch, but a pod of dolphins went past the back of the boat once and took my yozuri but pretty much spat it out strait away. Another time I was down second valley on the jetty and pulled up a weird looking star fish. Apparently it was a 'sea star' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
