I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible video! I'm a disabled Navy Vet..Sit at my desk all day...mostly fishing...Thank you, Sammy...I had a wonderful afternoon! Learned a great deal... Best Wishes..Elder-Hippie...

[@Ballast007]

Another great video mate. Got a story for you. Fishing the fad 7 k's off Sydney a few years back. Catching dollies throwing yakka's at the fad. My mate puts a livie on his hook and then stops to give me a hand. The livie's hanging in the water at the side of the boat and a dollie grabs it. Over the side goes his 2500 stella and rod. Without hesitation over the side goes my mate and disappears under the water. Myself, my mates daughter and the deckie are staring at the water when up he pops with the rod sideways across his mouth. We help back into the boat and then he just winds the dollie in like it was all part of a days fishing. Anyway, looking forward to your next video.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Paul Derbridge haha that’s a pretty epic story! Great form from old mate! 🍻🍻

[@Stevo-gb4kc]

Mate just wanted to let you know that solely based on what I leaned from this video I nailed a 73cm cod using slow jigging. First time I'd ever tried jigging. Thank you! More tutorial videos please. (if anyone's interested it was an 80g mustad 3d jig minnow)

[@keawestephenson7113]

Awesome video mate ! One of the only videos in English about slow jigging that really covers all the bases , another thing to add , to stay vertical you can sometimes use a drift sock of have a spanker installed on your boat to align with the wind , look up Japanese anglers secrets , tons of really good info from Japanese slow pitch jigging pros , you’re spot on though man really killed it with this video

[@dpetersontube]

Thanks for the info on jigging. Always nice to see how someone else is doing it in different parts of the world. Love to visit someday...

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Doug Peterson thanks mate! Appreciate the support 🍻🍻

[@shalveenlal9934]

Glad to be a part of the Sammy Hitzke jigging basics session. Very kind of u. Congrats of yr pb pearl perch and getting yr ocea jig setup back out of the depths. Sorry abt yr sunnies though. Another epic video Mr Hitzke. Thank u and tight lines till next time. Huge fan.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

shalveen lal thanks very much! It’s ok, I’d much rather lose the sunnies then the rod! Very lucky to get it back. Thanks again 🍻🍻

[@ken244]

I just begun slow jigging here in S Florida and am hooked. Thanks for all your informative videos.

[@raptorman9289]

I finally got some good advice on jigging! Thank you. I really couldn't find some good answers from fisherman on the Pacific coast of the USA and the waters of Mexico. I'm a big fan now and will follow. My dream is to open up my own KZbin channel but I need to learn from the best and incorporate styles. Keep up the good work hopefully I will hear from you back and see more videos

[@mrt7333]

Perfect video. Im from israel and going to the gulf of eilat next week, thats basically a fishing heaven for us and wanted to started using lures and jigs because it has many preadator species. Anyway, amazing video.

[@DDomero]

I'm happy to know my setup is good enough for jigging. Thanks for the video!

[@robberlin2230]

More secrets than a confession box, good stuff mate

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Rob Berlin hahah 🍻🍻🍻

[@brentcormack6795]

Your best vid yet.. or just good timing. Super keen on trying jigging. Thanks dood.

[@markferguson4255]

Slow jigging looks cool. I use to have fun squig jigging when I use to live Cooktown. Thanks for the tips. Love the vids 👍

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Mental Mark No worries mate, glad you enjoyed it! 🍻🍻

[@Jamboliner]

Great video! I live in Portugal and jigging works great. We just target different species. I am starting out on this technic and that is why I am here, and so far, I have learnt , and although targetting diferent species, tips and tricks applie regardless, I guess. I got myself rigged with a daiwa certate for the job and I've been thnking about a way to attache to the boat so I don't need to dive in after it, specially in offshore fishing. You dove after the OCEA setup. Right now, the sea temperature is 14º Celsius here in Portugal, unless I has a full change of clothings, I would had to go back and be treated for hyperthermia. That simple. In the summertime, it's not much different, sea temps don't rise above 21º in southern Portugal, but where I live near Lisbon does not rise above 19º. But there are upsides to that, we do not have sharks. Again, great video and thanks for the tips. Cheers!

[@granttemple4599]

Thanks Sam for some pointers! Good video mate looking forward to watching the rest of your channel.

[@MrAcuta73]

Drop how to slow jig into KZbin, and I get Sammy! Thanks for the tutorial, using these for our groundfish is a pretty new thing around here. Mostly for Ling Cod and Halibut, but sebastes (rockfish) will occasionally eat them too. Not a new thing for tuna, of course. But I've never used them for tuna, so there's that. Be on the Pacific at first light in the morning with an arsenal of these things to try out! Thanks again!

[@jason13533]

Love your work mate, learning heaps, caught a 1.2m Black Jew fish on one of those slow jig set ups from BCF. Started to tow the tender around 😅

[@bamigyue]

Very useful video for beginners who want to learn slow jigging technique using overhead

[@fishpest2039]

I had some of these lures in my box for 10 years, used to flick them like a popper, never catch a thing, thought they were shit, but now l know something more, thanks Sammy the Whale killer

[@lornehargis2614]

Learning what I can to get into the slow pitch jigging. The first part of the video is really helpful, the second half helpful and entertaining. Sorry about your sunglasses. Yes, new subscriber. Cheers 👍👍😎

[@Cammo-vp1gl]

Educational and entertaining 👍🏻 I never really knew what I was doing when jigging. Thanks mate I’ll give these techniques a go 🎣🎣🍻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cammo 1308 Cheers mate! Good luck your jigging! 🍻🍻

[@Solt3per]

Tutorial dengan penjelasan yang sederhana serta mudah dimengerti. Terima kasih sudah berbagi pengetahuannya. Salam dari Indonesia..🇮🇩

[@davidk5832]

I got the same vintage of big pearlie off cape Moreton as well. Looked like a dufish with that real maroon color in the face. He weighed in at 4.9kg and was released because I was only jigging for AJs thst day and has no ice lol. That was on that wreck in 70m east of the light house. Took a fast knife jig that day

[@vhalestrada4008]

Hello guys you're propetional jigging congrats..I all ways watching your vlogs and no Skip God bless you both..

[@minibar7165]

... using the same techniques, including the FG knot to connect my braid to my leader, but the video was great and an excellent explanation. I bought some huge Groupers using almost the same lures ... click on the Blue Marlin to the left if interested.

[@jerryliu6893]

Thanks a lot for the video mate, learnt heaps from that and i`m glad you got ur set up back from the water!

[@thefishpriest74]

Hi there! New to the channel. I was just curious if there was ever an update/video on the "secret jig" that was used. Keep up the great work!

[@ceferinonealega6342]

Thanks bro for your explanation. Now I fully understand the process of slow jigging. My only question is why not use pe6 or pe8 to make sure that your line is safe?

[@fishingPLZ]

How's it sammy. I've also giving the slow pitch jigging a go ya in south Africa and I'm really loving it. Awesome video bud keep them coming.

[@sleepysopalsandprospecting6170]

G/Day great video the same techniques work on cod and yellow belly using Savage hard and soft body vibes... I feel your pain losing your sunnies after losing a pair off script polaroids to the depths I now use glass saver cords with a key float attached.. great save with rod and reel Phewwww 👌👌👌 Thanks for sharing regards Sleepy.

[@Severe2jz]

Hey sammy love your work mate. On these sort of videos or all videos in general can you do a bit of sounder chat. Depth of water, water temps, what you are looking for, are you running split screen ect ect. Even in the shallows it would be good to see what you are looking for or what you have found to make cast worthy.. cheers brother 🤙 happy new year

[@pajet3798]

Thanks for the video Sammy, Im slowly going through all your videos from oldest to newest and I appreciate the tutorial videos. Please keep givin us info even if you think its irrelivant and you have said it a few times. Quick jigging question - if we dont have a specialised jigging rod, how do we know our rod will be suitable for the jig we use because i dont want to break my rod using a lure that sis marginally too heavy for it?

[@oldmate_adventures]

Nice vid Mr Sammy, i always learn something new on your vids! Keep up the solid work🤜🤛

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

OldMate Adventures Thanks mate! Glad to hear it 🙌🙌

[@mikeeyv]

Loving your videos mate! Would love to see an instructional video on using your sounder with what you see and how to do your drifts and when to drop your plastics/jigs. Subscribed!

Very nice tutorial content. I love bottom fishing and jigging too..

[@ROLZKYchannel]

Thank you very much for sharing I learn i lot for this video...I love fishing ...thank you

[@paulsloan6184]

Mate - as awesome, quality vids! I am just starting to get into slow jigging and have a question about overhead/baitcast combo. I usually fish the local reef in 30 metres of water for snapper and pearlies. Just grabbed some using 80g slow jigs. Looking at a combo - love your thoughts on a suggested rod and reel match. Would you suggest run with the baitcast line feed option (Lexa) or something like the Daiwa Saltist 18 15H. Not up to the Ocea Jigger type budget as yet I am afraid. Cheers mate - keep em coming.

[@renyielmenes9188]

Watching from Philippines ...fishing is life😊

[@mathewcampbell8479]

Thanks again for a great vid Sammy. Slow jigging vs plastics - which is more effective in your opinion?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Mathew Campbell no worries at all mate! Glad you enjoyed it. Hmmm that’s at tough one. Plastics in the shallows and jigs in the deep!

[@gaijinfishing]

Good thing that fish hit after you got the rod out of the holder. As soon as I saw it straight up and loaded with the jig, I had visions of a snapped rod tip.

[@williamatta3279]

Awesome video Sammy !! What Fishing Gear do you use for Flathead Fishing and also What Bait should I use for Flathead Fishing ? What should I use for Flathead Fishing ? What lb mono line should I use for Flathead Fishing when Fishing off a Pier or on a beach ? What size hooks and sinkers should I use for Flathead Fishing and should I use a ganged hook rig for Flathead Fishing with Pilchards Sammy ? What rig should I use for Flathead Fishing ? What tide should I Fish for Flathead Fishing ? And also Sammy What should I target for Flathead Fishing ? Thanks for the videos Sammy they really help me out allot !! And Thanks for answering my questions Sammy !! I would really appreciate it if you could answer my questions on Flathead Fishing because I am new to Flathead Fishing Sammy ? Cheers William !!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

William Atta hey mate, check out some of my flathead videos I’ve already posted. Should answer you questions 👍🍻🍻

[@verticaljiggingzambales7926]

nice haul sir... still amazed on the abundance of fish in your spots... our local jigs would be effective in your jigging spots i pressume

[@dwightsurgan9887]

Hey Sammy, cheers from New York! Love your channel especially the SPJ videos. It is slow to take hold over here in the north east united states but like to be a pioneer and try new things. Was wondering what your take was on the Nomad slow pitch rod? Have you used it or know of someone? Not a lot of info out there. Im using jigs between 60-200g and wanted to know how it held up to other jigging rods. Thanks boss!

[@jamesleadbeatter3632]

I believe the guy on the channel pelagic pursuit uses them

[@anthmania]

Hey Sammy, always enjoying watching your videos and learning a thing or two, please keep em coming! Question for you, do you only drop when you see decent arcs on the sounder? My usual terrain will be drop offs and broken ground in the drift.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Anthony Cheers mate! Plenty more coming up as well! Yeah I will look for shows on my sounder before I drop. Certain fish won’t really show up as strong, so you do have to be looking at the sounder pretty closely 👍🍻🍻

[@anthmania]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks Sammy. I've seen other videos where the big fish were only represented as tiny dots in 85m of water so I take your point. Looking forward to the next video.

[@williamatta3279]

Congrats on the PB Pearly Sammy !!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

William Atta cheers mate 🍻🍻

[@jamesleadbeatter3632]

Good old savage squish jig. Those produced some good fish

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

👌👌👌

[@zackemp7637]

Reckon that slow pitch combo is gonna need a service aye Sammy

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Zac Kemp hahah yeah she got a big bath when I got home 🍻🍻

[@NickQlatey]

wowww.. great video.... i like it bro...

[@InshoreYakerTV]

Just picked up a kensai slow pitch rod from catch!!!! Can’t wait to use it in june

[@mariotomas8882]

Hi Sammy!Can you tell me what rod,reel and braid use your buddy?I spin for years,and i more fan of spinning reels.Thanks

[@fishpest2039]

Everyone should SHARE to your facebook page so your fishing mates has see how easy jigging is. Sammy the man does it blinded by the light.. time for a new pair of sunnies, hey

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Fishpest Aussie hahah couldn’t agree more! New spotters on order already!

[@fish4161]

Think here in NSW we can only run 3 hooks on a lure (treble counts as one). Not 100% and may be free reign in QLD. Cheers for the in-depth information. No bs appreciate it 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Carl Gearing I’m pretty sure the assist hooks would only be counted as 1 because they are technically joined. Might need to get some clarification. Glad you enjoyed it 🍻🍻

[@fish4161]

Yep they don’t make it too easy to get an idea on the intricate specificities. I think you’re right mate my bad

[@Rottobenny]

Great video mate

[@yehyamneimne]

What a lovely day. I hope you keep having such awesome catches. | | want to ask though, I am using 150m braid to 1.8m fluorocarbon, but I am not getting any bites yet, rarely one bite every 7 hours. Any tips?

[@aaronyoung5346]

Great video sammy heaps of helpful tips I can use, also do you do much land based fishing would these tips work for shallower water trying to catch big fish I ask as I don't own a boat and only get a chance to fish around redcliffe cheers mate

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Aaron Young hey mate, cheers! Probably not a super successful technique land based. But there is a technique called shore jigging which works well I have heard 👍👍

[@cheynedarcysfishing6914]

Legend haha thanks for the start helped out a bit been doing slow jigging for a little bit shows me a little more on how cheers, hope you gave your rod a wash hahaha

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheyne Darcy’s Fishing glad it’s helping out mate🍻🍻 yeah the combo got a good tub when I got home!

[@Timi_channel]

Watch too kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIDTeaGEqKydfck

[@mytube3687]

Nice video, in our country most fishing area is very deep ,some are 100 to 200 m deep so these spots we need 100g to 200 grams?

[@lucenareelbrothers]

I love watching your video sir.. i learned a lot.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thank you! glad you enjoyed it!

[@-unactive-7240]

Awesome video! I have that savage gear salt 8000 reel too

[@ronniebeckwith4884]

Love your videos and have learned a lot. I just got a slow pitch jigging rod but don't have a reel yet. What's a good reel to get that won't put me in the poorhouse? I can't spend hundreds, and don't want to if I can avoid it.

[@jbl2270]

Thanks for your videos mate. How to you manage to work the jig & retrieve the line so it spools well without a level wind please? I borrowed a Torium from a friend which I would like to buy but my line has been spooling on the right side of the reel with bundles of slack. I fish from a kayak. Cheers

[@amasterfishing5544]

Really nice vid, Sammy, watched all the way till the end, loving that AJ and the stonker Pearlie, I do quite a bit of the slow pitch jigging around Sydney and have the exact same Shimano ocea set up, there are more small crowd Japanese maker like deepliner, beat, evergreen that make good SJ gears too, you'll get Jewies, trags, orange perches on the SJ too, I even once hooked a blue morwong on the back, 4 hooks could be a hassle for both the fish and the fisherman....

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah they are great for quite a few species up here! Glad you enjoyed the video mate, happy Jigging 🍻🍻

Nice video tutorial. Thanks mate.

[@nadeemuddin9070]

indeed a very nice video what is an ideal depth for slow pitch jigging or one can do it in any depth?

[@marksmith4452]

Nice job. Enjoyed and learned a bit too.

[@milesabove5259]

If Sammy could make another video like this About how to own a boat and find the spot to fish. He’d put the netting boats out of business.

[@nanhinting7447]

Great Video. Australia is known for good fishing.

[@Shpikey76]

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Shane Pike 🙌🙌🙌 thanks mate!!

[@AviationSafety101]

Another great video Sam. A question: I'm new to jigging and the jigs I've got only have the hook in the head end although there is a ring at the tail. Can I and should I attach a hook to the tail? Thanks Rob.

[@Scamhater007]

this question will probably annoy some purist of slow pitch jigging. In a low current situation would a heavy crocodile spoon be a good option to use as a slow pitch jig?

[@aaronthomas2823]

awesome vid mate cheers for the lesson

[@oncofishing7043]

the pull is great.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Wicked video 🙌🏽 Thanks guys

[@aus2045]

Awesome video but I have a question: you say 1 gram per m for jig weights. Where I fish offshore from Yeppoon you can be 120km offshore but it’s still only 17m deep. A 17gram lure seems silly, and yet a bigger profile just turns weary shallow fish off. So this only works in deep water yes?

[@mase44]

Hi really good show and I’m a fan. I just one question can you slow jig with a spinning reel and rod or does it have to be a proper jigging reel and rod set ?

[@rickbold9337]

Great info Sammy. I bought a bunch of shimano flat fall jigs recently to try slow pitch jigging. What is the average or deepest depth that you generally fish at? I have a reel with about 400 meters of line. Hoping it’s enough. Saltist 4500 spinning reel.

[@hadilatiffishgeek8203]

Great video bro.. 👍👍👍👍👍salute from Singapore jigger

[@ralphcolin2132]

Excellent explanation how to retrieve the jig through the water column.

[@jeramiebentley4054]

I need to try this style more. Jigging for amber jack in 300 foot using the how fast can i retrieve it method nets great results you just are exhausted to quick.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I_know_things hahah yeah fast jigging cooks your arms and shoulder verrrry quickly! It is good fun though!

[@andyk8322]

Great info Sammy One question though not sure if it’s a silly question would anchoring up work as well ?

[@tomzeng5610]

Too deep too anchoring

[@amasterfishing5544]

I will share your channel with my fishing buddies.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

[@fisherfarmervlog_EKGOH]

Another great video bro.. 👍👍

[@RH-qk5lt]

[@mohammadj5963]

Hi . Thanks I fish in the red sea . Full of rocks under .. what I do to avoid cutting the jigs please

[@johnkellythorn9389]

Awesome video Sammy, learnt heaps. Tried the 136g Squish Jig (same colours as in the video) on the 36 fathom reefs off the Goldie but got both stock assist hooks bitten off after 4 drops. Wondering what assist hooks are best to avoid this? Thanks again!!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

John Kellythorn mate I can honestly say that’s never happened to me bar once on a wahoo. I was suggest there maybe leatherjackets or sea toads in that spot? It’s never usually a problem

[@clays_saltyvibez]

Just wondering how you usually like to position your boat when slow jigging? Do you use a drift anchor at all or mainly use the motor in reverse?
