Pinkies, Queenfish and Bust Offs while Fishing Hervey Bay - Episode 111

The tremble hook that came with jig para jig seem weak, does change to a big size hook kill the action of the lure?

It is so inspiring to watch your video. Is jigpara jig worth the investment? I am planning to deep sea fishing in south East Asia, but I am not sure what jigpara jig and weight should I buy? There is so many jig in major craft. And should I replace the hook as well?

Hello Luke, Great stuff. On the topic of the "pinkies", yes they are always in plague proportions & the first fish to take a bait. But what are they? The best I can do is to suggest that they are "Ruby Snapper". If they are then --- the Legal minimum size of 38cm, a possession limit of 5 and as a Coral Reef fish they are included in the boat limit of 20 etc etc. PLEASE can someone tell me that they are not a Regulated Fish & I'll happily dine on them after every trip. They've always looked delicious to me. Great videos & info. Thanks, Paul

G'Day Paul - Yes mate I believe they are Ruby Snapper. One of the guys on FaceBook commented and says they actually taste okay although they are a little boney for kids. But he keeps a few and cooks them up. Being an easy eating fish is probably the most important thing for myself as the boys hate finding bones. Ps. That for watching mate 👍 Luke
