Slow Pitch Jigging Techniques Part 1. Includes boat position, tide and 'drop in' timings.

I'm a keen fisherman and charterboat skipper in the UK who specializes in slow pitch jigging and lure fishing.
In this video I go to sea on my own for a couple of hours fishing, I take the time to explain some of the details and tips that I often share with my clients whilst on a charter.
Successful boat angling is a mix of skills and here I show how important boat position, drift and drop in timings are, especially when there's a wind against tide situation.
This is part 1 of 3 videos I took this day.
I hope both experienced anglers and beginners find it useful, please let me know?
Thanks Matt.

Good video mate😎🎣

Cheers Mark, glad you like it bud

⁠I’m going to try the swivel instead of a solid ring I like the idea of that we will get an opportunity to have a fish together. I will get down to you. It’s just the weather situation as you know and a few commitments I’ve got, but I’ll be in touch my friend and I will definitely be trying your Joker Jigs out very soon.

[@JOKERjigsandlures]

@@ManicFishing yes a good quality medium sized swivel is a good idea, not with a link though there's no need for that. It will be lovely to fish with you Mark, crazy weather hey, lets hope it settles properly soon

[@richardandrews4076]

Do the reels have level winds ? Great video btw

[@JOKERjigsandlures]

Thanks Rich, no these dont have level winds. They have a narrow spool so load fairly well, plus the level wind gear would cause a bit of drag and slow the falling jig so its not ideal really.

[@adriancoates9832]

hi matt, great explained video, just bought some of those slammers 3 or 4 days ago, i should have asked first - what do you recommend 130gram or your 170gram on those wrecks, i have a boat in lymme bay and the wrecks i fish over are roughly 120 to 180 feet deep, i bought 6 170 grams, hopefully i have not gone too heavy, thanks

[@JOKERjigsandlures]

Hi Adrian, thanks for the comment and the recent purchase. So the depths we find in Lyme are good for anything between about 120g to 220g, it all depends on the wind and size of the tide. My most common weights are the 150g Imp and the 170g Slammer as theres often a breeze effecting the boat slightly. On a really calm day with a smaller or slow tide you can drop to a lower weight, but if the jig is streaming away quickly when its a bit breezy then you may find that the 200g Slammer is better. Its always nice to go as light as possible, but your rod and braid need to suit the jig and the jig suit the conditions and depth. i do like using the 120g /130g sizes when I can.

Smashing video Matt will there be various weights of that new jig ?

[@JOKERjigsandlures]

yes all the Slammers are available in 80g, 100g, 130g, 170g and 200g. The new Black Mack and Pink Glow are the new ones and expected in month or so, fingers crossed
