How To Catch More Fish Vertical Jigging

[@GatorRCHeli]

Anyone who can catch a fish on a wrench is a true fisherman! Kudos

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks

[@timmc2886]

Great advice Pete. I have been using ProCure Ladyfish on my Verticals for a couple of years. Add it to the lure and run it up the line a few feet to get rid of the human smell. I have fished the same wreck at the same time with others using the same jig, and the scented jig produced more hookups period!

[@palmbeachpete]

I will have to give it a try.

[@perrysnopeep]

Was planning on tipping my jig with Bonita next trip and fell onto your video, very 😎 thanks !

[@palmbeachpete]

Have fun! it works.

[@ErikColl]

Hey Peter! I've used pro-cure gel and pieces of fish bites on the hook.. If I remember to bring it in my kayak, I use it and it does help get more consistent bites if your in the right spot. Like you said, fish are only in a small percentage of the Ocean. I think being at the right place at the right time is most important but having scent does give an edge over not having it.

[@palmbeachpete]

Love Pro-Cure inshore. I have not tried it offshore yet.

[@GimmieTheGaff]

Hey Pete, Will from New Zealand here. Pleased to see Hurricane Matthew hasn't dampened your fishing. Love your vids brother. Tight lines.

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks Gimmie. The hurricane could have been a bad one if it came in 20 more miles. Only lost power for a day.

[@triathletechink69]

Pete we had talked a few weeks back and I told you I would let you know how it went, unfortunately haven't had a chance to go out. Worse though my boat was stolen last Thursday, 2:19 am, right out of my driveway. Still wanted to thank you again for the video.

[@palmbeachpete]

Sorry to here about your boat.

[@TheJancsika1]

Great tip Peter.I will try next time I fish from my kayak,Thank you.

[@palmbeachpete]

Let me know how you do.

[@TheJancsika1]

Palm Beach Pete Sure thing. As soon as the weather will cooperate.

[@CatchingtheCraze]

Great tip! Been running into a few school that you really gotta work to get any fish to bite. Hope this is the tip needed to make the hardest bites easy.

[@palmbeachpete]

Let me know how you do Ryan.

[@koogleyou557]

Lingcod rock cod season starts in 2 weeks here in NCal. Great tips.really likecl the gulp curly tail on the assist hook havent seen that 1. A LOT of guys like to put bloody tuna scent on their lures esp for salmon. Will report my results. Tired of squid strips and white flies, now have a wide (& pricey) assortment of jigs but wasnt real sure about aubtleties of presentation. Great help.

[@palmbeachpete]

Any kind of scent will help. I would like to here how you do.

[@triathletechink69]

Just picked up an avet sx mc on Trevala got the vertical tied to it, gonna give it a go naked then i got some dolphin belly strips will get back to you tomorrow, thanks for you vid Pete

[@palmbeachpete]

Let me know how you do.

[@triathletechink69]

Gonna have to wait til Tuesday Pete, went out yesterday and spun the prop 12 miles off. Thank God I just renewed my Towboat US membership last week. Tow capt said it would have been $1600.

[@zash008]

How has your Avet reel held up? I bought HX model last year but havent used it but a few times.

[@stavroskess4879]

Thank you so much for your wonderful tip! I will try it definitely 👍im sure that it will work... Greetings from Rhodes g.r.

[@palmbeachpete]

Thank you, let me know how it works out for you.

[@keithblaylock4006]

Nice Tip Pete I will be adding bait to my jig from now on.

[@palmbeachpete]

Let me know how you do.

[@KayakFrank]

Great tips as usual Pete. As far as tipping jigs for me, it doesn't help me at all. I am so used to jigging at a fast speed, I don't like anything that changes my cadence speed. But like you said, maybe over a reef or slow jigging a wreck, can make a difference. Tight Lines Pete. Fish where the fish are always.

[@palmbeachpete]

Try it fast and let me know if it works. I fish it fast and slow.

[@stripeddman1]

Nice video❤

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks

[@bobypestano]

Awesomely impressive and most sensible...will try for sure...

[@palmbeachpete]

Let me know how you do

[@gerrudz1049]

Nice tips.. Im gonna try it. 👍👍👍

[@palmbeachpete]

Have fun

[@kevinkimble9594]

great tip thanks. i used to jig off head boats but they started not letting people use braided line on them so what to u think would be a good replacement and what poundage thanks

[@palmbeachpete]

Not sure. Braid is the way to go when jigging.

[@gabe428]

Great video and advice Peter.. I see you still have some of those SHULURE squid jigs left. I can't find any anywhere heard Shulure not around anymore was wondering if you knew anybody still had some left or of company sold to somebody else. thks again keep them coming Tight Lines. Gabe

[@palmbeachpete]

I have a few left and I don't know who would have them. You may want to try E bay.

[@timmc2886]

Good luck trying to find that Squish, I contacted Shulure some time back they said they were going to make more but that never happened. FYI that was a really hot tuna jig back a few years ago. I have seen some knock offs floating around.

[@chumboedu]

Great tip look fw to trying it. What do you add for your berkeley gulbs for scent? Any specific brand or scent think works best? Thanks

[@palmbeachpete]

Gulp has it's own scent. I use all kinds of Gulp on the hook.

[@robertryan7978]

Hey Mr Pete. Im new to salt water. Im out of Jensen Beach so i head out the St Lucie inlet. Any tips where to go jigging in that area. Thanks. Great vid. I learned a lot.

[@palmbeachpete]

You have a lot of great spot out from St. Lucie Inlet. Most fishfinders with GPS will have wrecks marked on them. I will fish wrecks in 120 to 220 feet of water. A GPS is a must for this type of fishing.

[@aleduberti]

Always watch you Peter ,nice tip...

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks

[@Coldpro2]

Good video! I have tried tipping jigs and it does help. I've even bottom fished using a jig and bait and got some yellowtails. Anyways my biggest problem for vertical jigging at least out of Boynton Inlet where I mostly go out of is where to fish. Besides Skylcift wreck I don't know where else to target. I was wondering if you could help me out. I really like the channel keep up the good work!!

[@palmbeachpete]

I like to jig on the ledge that goes from 220 to 280 feet right out from the Boynton Inlet and anytime I mark fish on the fish finder.

[@proffishingandhunting2938]

Try to jig on the edges and rocky areas it’s where the most fish usually use it as feeding area

[@ryanvlasic1849]

Great video. I'm going to the Bahamas next week and looking to try this. The tackle I have is pretty light, 7'med/heavy with 20lb braid and 20lb leader. What's the smallest size I can get and still get it down there, and any particular brand jigs you'd recommend?

[@palmbeachpete]

A lot will have to do with the current and how deep you will be dropping. I have used everything from a 1oz to a 3 oz with that outfit. Bass Pro makes a 1oz XPS Freestyle Jig that works like crazy on the reefs for snapper and grouper.

[@DeathByFishing]

Tipping them does work, but what you put on the hook must be able to swim without hampering the action. I use squid strips.

[@palmbeachpete]

Squid works great. Thanks

[@DanMorera]

Hey Pete do you have a playlist with your jigging related videos ? I'm a kayak fisherman down here in Costa Rica and going to start jigging , I usually troll or cast my fish but heard good things about jigging. Keep the videos coming

[@palmbeachpete]

I have a few jigging videos and need to make a few more. Check out, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpC2hWB_nZtngbM

[@DanMorera]

Thank you sir. Looking forward to them.

[@carlosidd]

I does work went out on a charter cought my limit of rock fish a few hours well people still trying to hook up lol. I used squid Pro cure gel

[@palmbeachpete]

Glad to hear that it helped you.

[@safdarkhan9214]

Nice jig fishing technique.👍

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks

[@BitetheBaitFishing305]

Thanks for the awesome tip going to try this this weekend!

[@palmbeachpete]

Let me know how you do.

[@karinacroney9740]

pete i tried it in barbados and got 5 kingfish 3 blackfins and 6 mahi mahi

[@palmbeachpete]

Glad it helped you. Nice catch.

[@edwinwestby6026]

hi Peter, I wanna learn to vertical jig, can u give me some tips and advice on which jig to get?

[@palmbeachpete]

A lot will have to do with how deep you are fishing and how strong the currents are. You want to use the lightest jigs you can to get to your target fish. Where are you looking to fish?

[@edwinwestby6026]

Palm Beach Pete I'm looking to catch big bottom fish, grouper, mutton snapper, Amber jack, any bottom predetor. but I only get to reef fish on a party boat so I don't know the depth..

[@palmbeachpete]

I would get a few 3 oz, 5 oz and 7 oz jigs. That way you should be able to cover the depths you will be fishing. Make sure you have a good jigging outfit to fish with.

[@edwinwestby6026]

Palm Beach Pete thanks Dogg! tight lines

[@palmbeachpete]

Good luck, let me know how you do.

[@Murr808]

thanks for the info, subscribed from Hawaii !

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks Gordon. Let me know how it works for you.

[@jeffrogala9038]

have you ever tried making your own assist hooks?

[@palmbeachpete]

Yes I have. I use 200 lb braid.

[@jeffrogala9038]

great, because the store bought hooks are overpriced

[@MrRodrigo169]

Thank you for this great video

[@palmbeachpete]

Glad you liked it.

[@ifishcarolinatv1951]

Appreciate the tips👌

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks

[@sterlinian]

Nice tip

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks

[@rodneydow7299]

Thanks, good advice.

[@palmbeachpete]

Thank you for checking it out.

[@dennishinckley6326]

Where do you get the jig you show? The one with the small wings.

[@palmbeachpete]

It was made by Surlure. They are not around anymore. Love that lure.

[@dennishinckley6326]

Anyway I could make a casting of one?

[@dennishinckley6326]

Pete I live in loxahatchee, if you let me cast one of yours I could make you some.

[@palmbeachpete]

Do you make jigs now?

[@dennishinckley6326]

@@palmbeachpete yes I can make a mold of it and cast new ones. In fact I looked at the one you showed and tried to make it. I made 4 of them send me your email and I will send you a picture of what I did.

[@oceanmeasureinfo4119]

tipping the jig worked for me... I threw some squid on there so the bait stealers had a harder time getting it off the hook.

[@palmbeachpete]

Did you get something big on it?

[@richardlopez533]

How far out off shore do you usually go out?

[@palmbeachpete]

Out of Sebastian we will run 15 to 20 miles out.

[@richardlopez533]

Palm Beach Pete oh wow , I’ve been wanting to start going kayaking off shore. I’m out of south Florida, Miami

[@palmbeachpete]

Off Miami you will have to go out 3 miles.

[@Daniel-qj3tp]

Thanks bro

[@palmbeachpete]

Hope you liked it.

[@umassfishingclub7454]

A Wrench...epic

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks.

[@JelsmaOutdoors]

How do you attach the hooks to the wrenches?

[@palmbeachpete]

You put the hook on the closed side of the wrench the same way you would a speed jig.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnramZ5njqeZiZY

[@JelsmaOutdoors]

Palm Beach Pete So you are using braid, thanks. Great videos man, one of the best fishing channels.

[@palmbeachpete]

Thanks Jelsma

[@JelsmaOutdoors]

Palm Beach Pete No prob great channel

[@koogleyou557]

Jelsma Outdoors look up several assist hook searches on youtube - use a thicker shank hook and ask your tackle shop for a few yards of 160 lb test braided. Dont bothervwith those shrink wrap things over thevknot just watch enough videos to find a solid knot like a snell, or a jansek special or an uni knot w like 7 wraps. Bombproof.

[@cheynedarcysfishing6914]

What is your intro song called

[@palmbeachpete]

It is Hooky with Sloane and found on KZbin Audio Library.

[@rianotrijaya246]

I dont know, if wrench can catch fish 🤣🤣👍

[@palmbeachpete]

Yes it can.

[@swanztv1969]

Hahaha... very smart sir....
