Jigging for Seabass
I've been hearing rumors that the Seabass have been feeding on sandeels and jigging has been producing well. Question is, do you use the same diamond jigs used for blues/stripers, what technique is used ie long sweeps or short jigging action, tube or tubeless, teasers, etc? READYYY... SETTT... GO!!

Re: Jigging for Seabass
couple years ago we read the sh!t out of em but they would not really punce on clam we caught a few & the were vomitting up sand eels i put on a 1oz ava & proceeded to get hit right away everyone switched up & it wasn't fast & furious but we were catching more then on clam. Long sweeps & short pops worked best

Re: Jigging for Seabass
Lol you can keep the porgies, i wish the triggerfish would come back in the numbers they were in years past. Sandy really messed up their inshore haunts, esp out of Barny.

Re: Jigging for Seabass
I'm heading out in the kayak tomorrow morning from the Long Branch area. If anyone wants to join me, just let me know.
Jon Mueller is out there now and had over (40) a few hours ago.

Re: Jigging for Seabass
Was on the cell phone reading while waiting before, but wanted to say that many guys are using jigs for sea bass now! Anything from a simple Ava Jig ( no tail ) to the fancy stuff like I listed above with the Jetty Ghost Sandeels, these fish will inhale something like this.
Spearing & Sandeels also work as bait too! Seems the larger fish will take the larger baits, such as spearing even smelts! Clam is great, or squid, but you see the mix of small fish with these baits. If you want to target quality fish, go with the jigs and bigger baits! One last thing we have noticed, is that pink & blue are the two top colors for jigs. Pink starts to change color, depending on your depth. Blue is one of the last colors that are lost in the water. Spent 2 seasons testing this theory and its dead on. Blue jigs seem to crush sea bass in depths of 75-125'/ Just a little info on the topic. OMT made up some sea bass jigs for us recently, and the guys love them! Blue with UV Glow.
