Spent a day chasing chromed speedsters on jigs not far offshore not long ago. It was a chance to put some new gear to good use and have fun with hard-fighting pelagics on super light gear. Rods bent and drags alight, no better way to spend a day!
 |
| Hot out of the oven, some new jigs from Xesta called the Slow Emotion Flap. These slow-style jigs are perfect for demersals but as we soon found out, pretty deadly on pelagics as well... |
 |
| First Slow Emotion Flap victim was a stubborn Longfin Trevally, which put up a decent fight against the Majorcraft Giant Killing Slow Pitch Special rod... |
 |
| Two drops later and the Slow Pitch Special Giant Killing keeled over, line peeled fast from the locked down spool and it was a few anxious moments as the fish made its bid for freedom... |
 |
| A decent sized Diamond Trevally was the culprit. It went for the Xesta Slow Emotion Flap jig hard and got pinned after a few misses. Like all Diamonds they go super hard and it was a fight to savour... |
 |
| Queenfish are a common visitor in these waters, and they love IMA Ro jigs much! |
 |
| The IMA Ro scores another close cousin, the infamous Giant Trevally. Found in these waters too, except in not-so-giant models... |
 |
| It was a tough mid day as we spent hours of inactivity due to a massive storm that swarmed us. As it died the first catch was this small Longfin Trevally which nailed the new Megabass Metal-X Agitate jig worked with the Evergreen Temujin 'Aerial Level Stroke' ultra light spin rod... |
 |
| The fishing was tough post-rain but as the day drew to a close this nice Diamond Trevally on the ultra light Temujin 'Aerial Level Stroke' made up for the dismal day thus far... |
 |
| The Megabass Metal-X Agitate claims another victim... |
 |
| And yet another, with this frisky Queenie hitting the deck as a school moved in... |
 |
| We ended the session with a few Queenies plucked from the school. They were great fun on the ultra light outfits and small jigs like these Jackall Bros Mametais... |
