How to catch coral trout using SLOW PITCH JIGGING techniques - Whitsunday Islands

Heres a "how to" on rigging and using slow pitch jigs to catch Coral Trout in the Whitsunday islands region.

This particular day I dropped the kids to school then put the tinny in to take advantage of a nice weather window. We fished the lower Smith group of islands and worked our way south picking up a nice feed of trout along with sweetlip, cobia, trevally and a tuna, all before school pick up at 3. I explain the basics of slow pitch which is a very effective way to catch a huge variety of demersal/reef species in North Queensland waters, I also run through the strongest rigging technique, setting up your drift and a few other bits of advice to help you guys fish slow pitch jigs effectively.

Tackle Used:-

Rod - Oceans Legacy Slow Element Pe 3
Reel - Ocea Jigger 1500HG Limited
Line - Sunline Siglon X8 Pe 3
Leader - Sunline System Shock 100lb
Featured Jigs - Oceans Legacy Hybrid Contact & Palms/Zets Slow Blatt R 100 both were rigged with the ever reliable BKK Sea Ranger assists in the 2XL size.

Hi mate, I enjoyed the vid so I subscribed and gave a thumbs up. Those were some nice catch and I’ll be looking forward to see a clean and cook soon. I was wondering however, if it’s ok to place hooks to both ends of the lure. Thanks much!

[bartbug]

Thanks for the vids, what particular brand of Oceans Legacy Slow Element are you using with regards to the Jig weight? Just looking at them online and wasn't sure what I was looking at.

[hermannordin]

Hey mate what the best color for jig to tackle that coral fish..

[Camh]

Hi there.

Can you state the spec / model of the rod and line / brand line? I didn’t quite understand with the wind noise.

And, what is the name of round handle installed in the reel?

And, I didn’t quite understand the logic using the sea anchor over the electric motor. Can you please articulate this logic?

Thanks

Cameron

[KB_Fishing]

[Ramfishingadventures]

[junglelifelurefishingadven]

Hey mate a quick question, do you tie off to the solid ring attached to the assist hooks or do you add a separate solid ring to the jig?
