coight 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 depends really, if there aint much of a hot bite goin on.. yeah for sure berley away. latley ive had success with a dogdy ass rig, similar to a standard snapper rig, but i'm using a large jig head on the bottom for weight with a plastic and then a dropper loop a foot and a half or so up the trace with a pillie on a single hook... dunno works for me.. looks a bit rough tho.

Del 245 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 sounds pretty decent actually Coights! that way you permantly got a bait in the water! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coight 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 we first discovered the rig fishing in the outer harbor shipping channel, we ran over a big school of snapper (tho we didn't know it at the time) all we had for tackle was bream gear. 6lb leader and 6lb braid with bream jig heads. we put a peiece of bait on either jig head, before we knew it we got dusted up by 3 or 4 of em.. before ryan landed one that went 4kg's.It was a totally random spot we just happened to stumble across using the humminbird side scan sounder.

rangfish 1 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 It could work but if youre going offshore theres the risk of sharks. :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
