How to catch coral trout using SLOW PITCH JIGGING techniques - Whitsunday Islands

Heres a "how to" on rigging and using slow pitch jigs to catch Coral Trout in the Whitsunday islands region.

This particular day I dropped the kids to school then put the tinny in to take advantage of a nice weather window. We fished the lower Smith group of islands and worked our way south picking up a nice feed of trout along with sweetlip, cobia, trevally and a tuna, all before school pick up at 3. I explain the basics of slow pitch which is a very effective way to catch a huge variety of demersal/reef species in North Queensland waters, I also run through the strongest rigging technique, setting up your drift and a few other bits of advice to help you guys fish slow pitch jigs effectively.

Tackle Used:-

Rod - Oceans Legacy Slow Element Pe 3
Reel - Ocea Jigger 1500HG Limited
Line - Sunline Siglon X8 Pe 3
Leader - Sunline System Shock 100lb
Featured Jigs - Oceans Legacy Hybrid Contact & Palms/Zets Slow Blatt R 100 both were rigged with the ever reliable BKK Sea Ranger assists in the 2XL size.

Cheers
