Bumper Jigging Issue

Show & tell time! This was one of the better Pulau Jarak offshore sessions to date and I'll let the pictures and videos do the talking.

Small grouper, big appetite. Taken on Feed's luminous madai bumping on the sea floor using MajorCraft Giant Killing's Slow Pitch rod paired with Ocea Jigger.

Everyone hard at work with a variety of slow pitch set-up.

A school of Cobia hit us all like a wave messing up everyone's lines. This little fella put up serious fight falling prey to Shout's Flash worked using MajorCraft Giant Killing's Slow Pitch and Ocea Jigger on the drop near the sea floor.

Greasy grouper thinks it's got a good meal out of Feed's madai. Also on the Giant Killing Slow Pitch + Ocea jigger setup.

We got hit by another school of cobia, this time on Feed's Madai.

When night falls, we whip out our ultra light gear hitting the shallows around the Island. A feisty big eye trevally giving the MajorCraft Crostage Aji rod + Stella 1000FE a good run.

Taken on IMA's new fluttering micro jig, Ichimatsu.

Another big eye trevally but this time on Xesta's nitro jig.

Heading back to the deep, Feed's Madai managed to coax this hungry grouper. A setup second to none, Giant Killing's Slow Pitch and Ocea Jigger.

Another greasy grouper, also on Feed's Madai, Giant Killing's Slow Pitch and Ocea Jigger.

Switching to Bassday's bottom contact, I was able to raise this bait fish muncher up from the deep. Worked slow and taken on the drop very near the sea floor.

Occasionally, fish throw out their stomachs content to reveal bait fish the same size as the jig. Bassday Bottom contact sure does look like some of their food choices. I usually travel with a few of these jigs with me and will a few more home for other trips.

Giant Killing Slow Pitch loaded trying to tame sea floor dwellers.

Up comes a decently sized golden snapper, which explains the rod bending action.

Bassday's Bottom contact, not just for groupers. Hammered hard on the drop near the sea floor too.

Another jig switch, another fish take. A greedy greasy grouper. Taken on the Xesta Flap while bouncing near the sea floor.

With the same Xesta Flap jig, it managed to stir up this bullish golden snapper. Plenty of fight and head shakes all the way up. Most of the work comes from the Ocea Jigger being able to crank the bugger up leaving the jig action to the rod.

Overly ambitious snapper doesn't know that this Xesta Flap is being worked by an Evergreen's Poseidon Spin Jerker paired with a Stella. One way ticket.

We've also managed to piece together a 2 part video below showcasing some highlights of the offshore session to Pulau Jarak. Enjoy!
