Which part of the pier do you fish and what size and colour jig works best ??

Tonci,
Flinders is productive the whole length of the pier but I usually fish from halfway up and from the end. Most of my catches are from that zone. The calamari can be big at Flinders so i use 3.0 and 3.5 jigs, and if i am feeling dirty i will cast out a float with a whiting on a spike.
I dislike baits though, so i normally use jigs.
Most colors work, but i generally prefer natural colors, golds, silver, and reds. But i dont think color is a major factor when they are hunting.
Make sure you use a minimum of 15lb line and a similar leader. The weed will own all your jigs other wise. Last session my pal lost $100 worth of new jigs using 6lb line. If you get snagged take your time getting it out, lots of small jerks work, long heavy pulls will see you donate to the jig grave yard around the pier.
Goodluck, nala
