Jigging Seabass
With all the great sponsor reports, anyone getting results jigging for seabass as opposed to hi-lo/clam? Took a trip out of RI years ago and jigs were definitely culling out the larger humpbacks.

Re: Jigging Seabass
My mate and I tried it Saturday for 10 or so minutes each respectively and we each had just 1 bite. With the seabass spitting up sandeels they should be hitting the jigs but that wasn't the case for us.

Re: Jigging Seabass
A lot of it has to do with the size of the Jig & the type of teaser. I know you all may have heard this before match the hatch. A 4oz to 6oz jig may work sometimes but it's too big to match the size of the sandeels in the water. The size & colors of the teasers as well just talk to surf fisherman they will agree with me as well. I like using anything in the silver to light blue in the teaser dept & a a17 Jig or a light weighted stingo jig in the 1oz. to 2 oz. range.

Re: Jigging Seabass
its not always the metal jigs, sometimes buctails w/ strip of squid will produce better! last year up north off Nantucket all my big ones caught this method, metal jigs work but that day not as well!

That is exactly correct - you may have to play around with different jigs and teasers I have done really well culling smaller fish using a 6" gotcha curly tail on a few trips (same set up I use for cod btw) - other times a tint Clark spoon as a teaser killed 'em. All depends on conditions and scenario. Try various jig styles and sizes - if deep and lots of current I will run the jig as a teaser off the required weight to get the correct presentation
