Big Baits For Big Fish!

Another day fishing in paradise!! I was running off the back of an idea I'd had the night before, the old theory on using bigger lures to weed out the smaller fish, and it come through with some quality on the jig in nice and close. The jig I used was an 80g Palms Jigaro Speed Slide which is quite a unique jig that has a deadly slow fall, and a super wide walking action on the retrieve in an extra large, long profile for its weight. They're a new offering from the Palms stable which is starting to make its way into stores now...
Enjoy!

To be honest, I still do too 🤣

When I heard the theme music I called out “letsa goooo!” Then read this comment 😂👌🏽 very catchy 🤙🏾 watching from NZ

[@bobsmith9244]

Absolutely loved it! Great video! That fish gave Mandy a good work out 😂

[@Micksgonefishing]

Haha yeah she got the best fishing of her life!!

[@adamalback400]

Always a good day Island hopping mate.
Can imagine that it'd definitely cop more than it's fair share of boat traffic during peak periods.
Tight lines mate.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah mate! Very rewarding catching trophy fish in close!!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate! Happy you liked it!

[@gbangg]

Cheers for another good video cobber. Are you happy with that size boat or wish you went something a bit bigger?

[@Micksgonefishing]

Nah mate I’m stoked with this thing! When I go bigger I’ll get a contender but I’ll keep the Haines and the tinny… I just need a much bigger shed 😂

[@gbangg]

@@Micksgonefishing haha yeh roger that mate 🤙🏼

[@martyw9675]

Hey, Mick, what model Smiths Sunnies do you wear and do they do salt and freshwater fishing? TIA Cheers, Marty.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah mate they do both, I’m running the blue mirror XL Guides choice offshore and the copper glass riptides for estuary and freshwater.

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

Hey Mick this is off topic, but I'm going to complete angler tomorrow to get some new line put on me 3000 vanford. I want to go probably 20lb. Would you recommend castaway on a spin reel or just stick with ADV? Or any other recommendations ? I use castaway on me baitcasters but haven't had it on a spin yet. Just thought I'd ask your opinion mate. Cheers 👍🏻🎣

[@Micksgonefishing]

Sorry mate I missed this one, yeah castaway is good on spin reels too! It’s coarse and zippy through the guides but it has that abrasion resistance that it’s renowned for!

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

@@Micksgonefishing all good man thanks for the advice! I thought as much, so I'll run with castaway for sure. It is me favourite braid so far! 👍🏻🎣

[@kalebtuaeu6465]

Interesting way of jigging 😊

[@Micksgonefishing]

Half pitch

[@malmissingham6033]

Mick, what is causing that line noise?? It would drive me nuts!!!

[@Micksgonefishing]

It’s a 4 strand braid and it’s quite coarse which is why it’s so zippy through the guides. It’s not that brutal in real life the mic just picks the sound up more but it’s noticeable how well the 4 strand cuts through the water better compared with an 8 strand, allowing me to stay over the top of a lighter jig for longer.. if it didn’t have such an advantage I wouldn’t bother but it is worth it 👌🏻

[@malmissingham6033]

@@Micksgonefishing thanks Mick, much appreciate the explanation

[@Kingbourkey]

Can we get a tackle collection video

[@Micksgonefishing]

I’ve done a couple, just not the offshore gear yet…

[@scottyzfishing5660]

Getting bullied 🎣😥

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah those dawgs!
