Jigging on jacks

Jigging on jacks and more

Jigging: everyone knows it. But the first thoughts are like: I'll drop a heavy piece of lead and tap it back up.

Well no, I mainly do it with light material and therefore also with light jigs of 20 to 100 grams.

With jigging you can expect to catch everything such as mutton snapper, red snapper, rainbow runner, tuna, barracuda and all kinds of jacks such as the horse eye jack, bar jack, blue runner, black jack, yellow jack, almaco jack and amber jack.

Met andere woorden: alles wat er op de bodem rondzwemt kan gevangen worden.

We hebben hier aangepaste hengels voor zodat we niet vermoeid geraken onder de warme zon. Want met de aangepaste hengels die ook licht mogen genoemd worden, kan je uren door gaan met het jiggen.

It is quite an active but super fun way of fishing that you should definitely try once in the Caribbean.

 

How do we work

 We usually leave at 6 or 7 in the morning but earlier is always possible. We then fish for 4 to 5 hours.

If we leave in the evening, we will start around 5pm and fish until 9pm or 10pm.

Once we have boarded Bingo 3 we head towards the sea. That is about a 5 minute boat ride. As soon as we have arrived at sea we start fishing. If the place where we want to jig is a bit further away, we quickly cast a rod. This way we do not lose a second of fishing time.

Once we arrive at the location we start jigging and we do this at depths of 20 to 100 meters.

The jigs are adjusted to the current and depths but the most used jigs are from 30 to 80 grams. We can try both slowpitch and speedjigging. Because every fish species has its preference.

This option can also be combined with Inshore fishing and offshore fishing.

Price for 4 hours Inshore jigging (is always private)

1 person: $160, extra hour fishing plus $20

2 persons: $240, extra hour of fishing plus $20 per person

All fishing tackle and supplies are included in the price

The video and photos will be sent to you free of charge
