Hi all, new here but not new to egi-ing, All my fishing is from boats, mostly around Garden Island and the waters around Safety Bay.
I have noted that a lot of people have been asking about jig colours, now please note that this is from a boat but should be the same from shore??
On bright sunny days white UV 2.5 or 3 has worked the best for me followed by pink.
On cloudy overcast days the greens with the dark red underside has worked well.
As I fish from a boat I use 2 rods, 1 in the hand and 1 in the holder, on a bright day I will have a white UV on 1 and a pink on the other, this helps me find the colour that works for that day... Bright colours on a bright day, dark when its overcast works for me.
Anyway, just wanted to say HI, about to hook the boat up an see if I can get some squid for lunch
Tight lines everyone!
Pete
