Re: Jigging for Snapper in Bynoe
I would have a range of plastics. 5 and 7" flick baits, curly tails in z-man, berkley and I recently used the new squidgy whip baits recently and they had an awesome action. Use only as much lead that is needed to get to the bottom and have a range of colours, but personally, always have one plastic in white. They will also grab small metals. And dont forget the 20-30g soft vibes. They kick ass if you can keep them on the bottom. And try and vary the way you jig. Simple jigs, to very eratic, fast, slow. And the do nothing approach will work with vibes and plastics with paddle/curly tails. Just see what works
Take 2 or 3 packs. And then the next time you go, take another different one. 2 or 3 fisherman works better because you can have a range of jigs out to see which one works best..... BUT make sure everyone wants to jig. I find its easier if all bait is left at home so there is no other choice... and move, move, move and move around

White gulps in the jerkshad. 1.5 ounce jig head on a 7/0 hook. You have your days when bait out fishes plastics but I definitely goes the other way to. The jigs and plastics gets them excited and you can turn a bite on.

Re: Jigging for Snapper in Bynoe
jigging with metals, gets expensive but I'd be looking for no heavier than 100gm, light as the tide allows. for the depth I guess you want to work, say no deeper than 15m I'd look at micro jigs as well. I keep it cheap due to the teeth that lurk, either the Mackies snipping you off or the sharks taking your fish. I like to have a squid on the assist hook too, also make your own as it's heaps cheaper too. I use the Eupro range, Vexed and Shout ranges as well. I have been known to lose over $200 worth of jigs in a session, but an esky full of Coral Trout, Spangled Emperor and Rankin Cod made up for it.

I find - people get to fixed on one method - use bait to find the fish. But as soon as you find
Them make sure you have 7" gulp on - the best time for this is if there are heap of little snapper - you will pull the biggest fish out yeh school with that .
