Re: Jigging for stripers on a party boat
 

Thank you everyone for your help. The A47 with no tail was the key yesterday. My wife and I had 5 fish with 4 healthy keepers up to 19lbs

I agree with Pete. If they are on sandeels, then your AVA's, Hammered Diamonds will be the right choice that day. If they are on larger bait such as bunker, you will need some shads and Krocodiles to catch them.

You can get by with packing up Ava's with & without tubes, Hammered Diamond Jigs, Krocodiles and Shads. With these items in your bag.... your pretty much ready for anything.

Good Luck!

Yesterday the fish were higher in the water column. Savage 7" Sand Eels worked best for us with a medium retrieve. I usually use the heavier AVA's when the fish are tight to the bottom. I agree reeling a jig in is key to success along with tube color.

Turn the handle randle:D

Jimmy, you tried everything but the kitchen sink on Saturday. I've never seen so many different jigs:eek:

No such thing as best. One day it could be a gold hammered jig one day a regular diamond with green tail. There are a million that will work just grab two or three different ones and hope that you picked the ones they want that day

Thanks again for the advice, The A47 worked well. I did get my big fish on a live eel at the end of the day.
