Hey bella, last Wed. I caught a 24+ gag on jig. The strange thing was he didn't hit it when I was bouncing it for grouper, he hit it 15 cranks up when I was jigging like a scalded dog on a hot asphalt road. He did how ever let me know he was there immediately.

It depends on where you're fishing, and how deep. Lots of snapper and AJs out there now.



I rarely fish a jig, but those fish are biting bait.



Good luck



Edit: Use your fish finder before you drop.

they are inhaling jigs also. I caught 10 to 1 against 3 others using live bait.Not just one trip but three. I whipped them so bad one guy is going out and buying a jigging combo and 6 shimano butterfly jigs before we go again next Wed.

Hey lobsterman,



I'd be worn out just cranking them in. It's all I can do to put two 15+ snapper in the boat.

It's amazing that just when you think you figure the fish out, they throw a curve ball at you! You reel up 15 ft and get bit and assume it's a snapper and BAM! grouper! My buddy was bouncing a jig off the bottom one day at the Chevron and got nailed. He's fighting the fish and I notice a huge barracuda circling the boat. I tell him that I'm going to start feeding the cuda when he gets the fish near the surface. We see color and I keep the cuda distracted with some bonita chunks. Get the fish up thinking it's a monster grouper....GIANT CUDA!! What the F@*$!!!! Off the bottom? Oh well! That's why I love jigging, it catches everything!!
