Slow Pitch Jigging California Sheepshead & Black Cod | San Nicolas Island | Shimano Ocea Jigger

[@HuntGatherChatters]

The sheepshead are so pretty, I remember getting them by Catalina a long time ago.

I’ve been using 150-200g jigs with no luck… I should try going down to lighter jigs. Thanks again for the info.

Your videos got me into SPJ! Great video! Monster sheephead! Keep the videos coming!

[@JimFanFishing]

Thanks! Glad that you liked it!

[@gerardperlas270]

Congratulations on the black cod and sheephead🎉

[@garylai9385]

Nice monster sheephead!

[@raleighthomas3079]

Great video! Totally different species than what we have around Florida. Very interesting! I’ve been doing SPJ about a year actively, and love learning anything I can from others in different areas and waters. It’s so addictive once you start having steady success! You might want to try a sleeker jig to stay at your 100 gram size for the picky fish, to help with the current. Good luck!

[@JimFanFishing]

Very cool!

Nice vid ! I went there on the same boat few weeks ago using 220g jyg jig and got them on every drop

[@JimFanFishing]

Nice!!

Seems slow pitch jig is more productive in SoCal, I usually get more bites on swimbait than slow pitch jig in North Cal

[@biggsean302]

Can you say what boat you went out on? I’m always looking for new charters in So Cal.

[@mr.c5647]

If current starts up and your line starts to scope, try heavier jig or go to a torpedo it will give you a little more vertical time. Jig on

hello there, 1:46 could you just pick up the halibut by using the rod or should use a net? because i guess halibut mouth is fragile. thanks

[@JimFanFishing]

The jigging rod is too fragile for lifting up that fish.

[@logansoto2573]

That wasn't a verm maybe a rosy or a starry or something else but it was awesome

[@Jimmymag909]

How do you like the ocea jigger

[@JimFanFishing]

It's good very smooth!

[@bijiaz3168]

What rod would you recommend pairing a 1001 ocea jigger?

[@JimFanFishing]

game type slow J Medium action.

[@bijiaz3168]

Ended up going with accurate valiant spj 300 on the game j slow.

[@SlowPitchJiggingSXM]

Try Ocea EX8 braid, you won’t regret it and you’ll never look back

[@BDortmund1]

Which setup would prefer when you fished 80-100?

[@JimFanFishing]

The lighter setup is better. Game type slow J + Ocea Jigger 1500

[@BDortmund1]

Would you say that rod is a 2 power?

[@JimFanFishing]

@@BDortmund1 it's rated from 150-330 gram jigs

[@ultimatejay]
