****Risky Business Sportfishing Jigging 101 for Bluefin Tuna Trips *****

[Bluewater Sportfishing]

Risky Business Sportfishing is proud to present to you Jigging 101 hands on learning charters for a select time in July.
We will run 4 trips that cater and teach Jigging techniques to those that want to learn the ins and outs of jigging. We will teach rod set up, jig selection for fish in our areas, proper knots to tie, proper jig presentation, what colors work and why, what size jigs and why, what blanks and or rods to buy and why, what reels to buy and why, what to look for on the fish finder, and anything thing else I may have forgotten to put up here. My goal is to teach you so when you walk off the boat you have a better understanding of this exciting fishing technique. As I have walked through many tackle shops I have been overwhelmed by the amount of jigging equipment that is on the shelves with costs of jigs ranging from 9.99 to 25.00 a piece it can get expensive to try and do “trial and error”. The wrong knots will lead to lost fish and frustration on the water, having the wrong rod set up will lead to fish beating you up while it should be the other way around. I am gearing this around people who already have jigging outfits that want to learn how to best utilize what they have purchased and feel good about it, or are on the fence about this whole jigging thing and need some insight. We will also cover Japanese high speed jigging with spinning outfits and also the standard up/down jigging technique. On top of that I will have a full line of JPR rods and reels for people to try out and get a good feel of what each blank does.
Captain Travis will be the teacher for the jigging while I am busy with putting us on fish. Captain Travis also builds his own rods and makes his own jigs and we will have them on board as well. From what I saw with his last batch of jigs they look deadly and will catch a lot of tuna in the near future. These trips will be on the weekdays in July so we don’t have to deal with the massive fleets found on the weekends. If you can only go on the weekends then I will make arrangements to do a trip or two on a weekend.

On a quick note I will still be doing my regular trips chunking or trolling for the Bluefin. The troll trips we will focus on wahoo after we get a nice Bluefin. The troll trips offer you the best chance to land big Bluefin and the excitement of a big reel screaming as the fish runs for the horizion. I will also be doing regular jigging trips through out the month of July but without a teacher on the boat, you will still learn but not as in depth as with Capt Travis on the boat.
