Some nice fish there 86. Looks like one day we will have to have a jig off. I will use gulps and you can use the occy jigs. I only say this because I cant catch a fish on a occy jig and you have seemed to master them. It would be interesting to see which one produces the best or weather they come out on par.

no worries cuddles, sounds good, i have never used any gulps, have had a few people use them out with me but the occy's have always produced better!! Most of my fishing is drifting though, i have used the occy's a few times anchored and caught some ripper fish with them then, including nice Jewies, maybe the gulps work better at anchor??

Great report, full of fish, must have been a feast!
I am yet to get a decent fish on these jigg, but I think that I will persevere with them, after seeing these pics.

They have always worked well for me Pech, just got to get the jigging right. The fish was beautiful too, i thawed out some Coral Trout on the weekend and it smelt like Crayfish, mmmm was nice crumbed.

I usually drift if i can but it does get hard when the tides are too big. I think the occys could work better on the bigger runs as they are heavier with a docile action. The gulps need to be able to "Glide' in the water were the occys i believe use the currents to "flutter".

I do use them both at anchor and on the drift but you seem to pick up more good reefys on the drift covering more ground picking off the loner big fish like tuskys and isolated trout schools.

Agent86

yep thats it cuddlescooper,

i have found that quite often the really big trout and Tusky's are by themselves a bit.

they are a bit territorial, so if you anchor you will usually get less of them.

I like the bigger tides, quite often the slight breeze will be opposite to the tide so one will offset the other a bit.

Also as the tide changes speed, the drift will change direction so you can go accross the same ground a different way and have a go.
