Hi fellas,
Here in Qld a mate and myself go winter whiting fishing every winter. Each time we go we set out three rods with paternoster rigs with 3 squid jigs on each as we drift around for whiting.
Each rod has a green, orange and pink jig set at 60cm intervals set a minimum of 60cm from the dragging sinker on the bottom. For a test we had all the same jigs in varied colours on each rod, one rod was green then orange then pink next rod was orange then pink then green and the last was pink green then orange.
The results were for the first morning: Green jigs scored 3 squid, Pink jigs scored 11 squid and orange jigs produced 27 squid.
All squid were arrow squid from a minimum of about 15cm mantle length to 35cm mantle length.
Ohh and we caught about 65 whiting also the same morning.
On similar trips we have had very consistent results for depth and colour. On depth we were surprised that it didnt matter what level the orange jig was on it worked the green only worked on the bottom level I.E. 60cm from the bottom. The pink jig scored mostly on the bottom and middle levels but two were from the top level.
No attractants or actions were given to any jig apart from the 1/2" ball sinker dragging along the bottom.
