Vertical Jigging Seminar - Florida Sport Fishing TV - Catch More Tuna Kingfish Snapper Grouper 

Captain. Thanks allot. Ypu are extremely honest and you have one goal which is passing the information you gained to us free of charge.

Wow! He's a virtual walking encyclopedia! Amazing teacher with experience and knowledge!

This fellow has a good presentation. Been fishing for 45 years and still pick up a few good tips on these videos. Thanks Cap.

This was very informative and not a sales pitch. Very useful.

Great video, I’ll be experiencing slow pitch jigging for the first time next week, hope to get some fish

Outstanding presentation!!! Well done, we appreciate your perspective on jigging techniques!!!

Thanks for your useful and informative videos on a wide variety of south Florida /Bahama fishing ideas/techniques. Enjoyed this one on vertical jigging a lot !!!

Why am I watching this? I can pretty much guarantee I'm not going to be vertical jigging any time in the near future. I'm still interested though. Says a lot for Captain Mike and his teaching.

Great seminar Capt Mike, as always you go to the point every time. Thanks to you and your videos my fishing has improved like never before. Thank you very much!

Absolutely love these seminars Capt. Mike...thank you so much for taking your time to present and offer them online. I hope to meet you guys at some point, possibly on a pulley ridge trip in the near future. On the topic of Slow pitch, I got absolutely obsessed a little before this video was posted. It has completely changed the way I approach fisheries I've targeted for years. On a recent trip to the gulf coast, We brought our slow pitch gear and several captains/mates approached us with apprehension on how lite the rods/reels were . On one trip, my wife promptly caught an 18lb red snapper on a daiwa sp jig. We made believers of that crew. LOL. Not only that, I've found that the diversity of species that respond is crazy. You honestly never know what's gonna hit those jigs. I think its worth noting that a great portion of the mechanics of true slow pitch are very personal and specific. It's almost like a dance. You will also notice that the guys from place like Singapore, and New Zealand have vastly different approaches to the Japanese originators. They all have merit and are worth learning. Setups: 6'5" Majorcraft 100-150g slow pitch NP-Jack rod/Accurate bv-300/pe3 ocea 6'8" Temple Reef Levitate slow pitch (zero) 60-200g rod/ Accurate bv-300/pe2.5 ocea 6'5" Black hole cape cod special slow pitch 90-350g rod/ Accurate bv2-500n/ PP max quatro 60lb

my first seminar and it is the best explanation on jigging that i have heard or read! excellent. cheers from New Caledonia.

Excellent seminar, very entertaining and highly educational!! A must to watch!! Congrats to Capt Mike.

I'm hooked on these seminar videos! Excellent!!!

I wish you would leave links to the products you use that would be amazing love watching your videos you are awesome 👍🏻

Another great video Capt Mike. I really enjoy and learn a lot from these seminars you do. That new 3D sonar that's coming out is definitely awesome stuff and is going to change the game. And the slow pitch jigging with PE line sounds very interesting. Good stuff! Thank you and tight lines

awesome seminar! great content...I had read almost all your articles y watched the videos related to jigging. This is a complete tutorial that I would recomend to anyone...thanks for sharing that knowledge!

my favorite one of the seminar series so far! keep it up!

northern california fisherman here but this info will help me for ling and rock cod thx loads for this!

Thank you Capt. Mike nice information about Jigging

Great seminar. The best explanation I've ever heard. Guys, one suggestion, try sometimes vertical with inchiku jigs,you will be surprised!

grade A+!!! thank you for the terrific lesson...

Thank you Capt Mike loved the video very informative

Watching from Philippines

Crazy to see the amount of innovation and progress in jigging of any kind since this aired. PE line especially, now a days j braid 8 grand in 30lbs is the standard, and people are hauling up 40-50lbs grouper with it. Common to see folks using 15lbs in like 800ft and slaying. Wonder how the next 10 years will look

Greetings from the Aru Islands, Indonesia, greetings are always healthy and greetings strike

thanks mike you dont miss athing

Capt. Mike..........loved it. Super over-view!! I've used the DOA scenario myself, so many times telling people about lures.....and SILHOUETTE! I'm a slow-pitch-jigger, via 'Jigging Master' wanna-be, don't get to practice enough. Fits N.E. Florida better.

hey capt mike great video as usual...you mentioned that more information about this was on your website...can you post a link? I looked but couldn't find it. Thanks!

Great educational video, maybe the better explanained video about vertical jigging!

Great lesson.. Here in my place malaysia.. we jig with micro and ultralight setup .. 30gram down to 3gram.. the more light and more satisfy..

Capt. Mike another great informative video. I think these types of videos are really helpful to anglers of all levels and will help grow the sport. So thank you for passing on your knowledge. Also, what Daiwa reel are you using?

Great seminar Mike! I just have one question. What knot do you tie from the leader to the jig?

Hey Capt. Mike, I am a dedicated fan of you and Carlos. You do the greatest job with all your videos and seminars. I feel like, you really want me to catch fish, and I truly love passing this same attitude to my friends and family, I love watching them getting "bent over" by a AJ or watching dolphin sky and there faces light up. I do have a question that I may have missed during your siminar. 1. How do you keep from the hooks our hook getting caught on the leader on the retrieve. About every other drop and retrieve I tend to get tangled up, "hook around leader" Thanks so much, Trey gulf shores ALabama.

Excellent!!! WOW. I learnt all I wanted to at this point about jigging...Practice Practice Practice now!!! Am gonna be doing Jigging soon for the first time in 500-600 ft of water (sigh). Can you tell me please what is the colour of the Williamson Benthos 100g Jig you mentioned as your Go-to? Will be doing a lot of jigging soon in various depths of water. Thank you in Advance.

Excellent. Capt. Mike, Is it an option to attach a heavy duty swivel (of appropriate size) onto the Welded Eye (using a split ring) which you can then attach the Leader? Thank you.

Also, PE is likely UHMWPE. AKA Spectra. Same stuff bulletproof vests are made of.

Excellent ! can I be notified when and where the next seminar will take place ?

Good info, el capitan

Capt. Mike..... awesome work man, I'm a fan of all your shows. I wanted to ask you what size jigging rod (length, weight, line class) would you recommend for a Saltist 5000 spinning reel? Keeping in mind the whole balance subject. Thanks and greetings from Venezuela my friend

Captain Mike, Very educational video. Inshore and nearshore fishing in SW Florida a long time. However, Jigging is new to me. I am going on the Yankee Capt out of Key West for the 2 Day Marathon trip to the Dry Tortugas. Last weekend in November. I am building a Jig Rod. The blank is 7’10” 40lb. It is gonna have a LH Shimano Torium 20 Reel. 40lb braid. I am gonna spiral wrap the guides. Is that gonna be OK for that trip? I also have a 50lb 6’10” Conventional rod for bottom fishing. Additionally, I Have some 10oz, 8oz, 6oz, and 4oz Plain Silver Hammered Diamond Jigs and have found a couple of your “go-to” 100g Williamson Benthos Jigs for the trip. I know you have been on this boat, Any other suggestions?

Nice Mr 👍

Nice view nice catch

PE stands for Poly Ethylene. and now day they come rated in LBs. thank you for the useful video

This was excellent! Thanks

Captain Mike, I recently bought some gold hammer diamond jigs without hooks or swivels . Can you please advise me as to what hooks and swivels to use on each end? They are 4oz jigs and ill be targeting grouper and snapper in the gulf. Thanks so much Captain Mike, I can't find any information anywhere on how to rig them!

Great video! I'd love to know the setups you're showing, particularly the lightest one.

I'll soon be in Florida and I hope to share it with you someday .... And sharing ideas in Jigging ...

Mike, great video. I had no idea it was that detailed a technique. Did you say that reel is $700? I have had 3D sonar from Simrad for a while and it is great. I know they are not your sponsor.

Great channel i learned alot from you and I am thinking about start vertical jigging which one would you recommend Penn Carnage II Jigging rod or the Chaos Fishing SPVJ 500G 5'8" CHAOS Gold?

Great presentation capt mike I’m new to jigging and I got ugly stick tiger jig rod extra heavy and daiwa bg8000 loaded with 100 lb braid aiming whatever biting Can u tell me if this is too much ? And why u said 100 lb braid would rip the rod or ur arm off I don’t get it , coz I’m new and I think the bigger the line the stronger .ty

For more information on slow pitch jigging look at Japanese Anglers Secrets. They have a great guide. I bought a Seigler LGN just for the techniques. The PE rating on Braid is pertaining to the thickness.

I have tried jigging twice, once I saw schools of trevally underneath, but none of them was biting. Why wasn't I getting a reactionary bites?

Polynesian have been using that method for a long long time.

Hi please suggest me what kind of rod I have to buy for 100 grms jigs and what length

Excellent 👍👍

Are you going to upload the black fin tuna seminar?

Captain Mike What's your thoughts on FG knot for braid to floro connection

Hi Capt. Mike. Will any of the seminars that you did after this one be available on RU-vid or anywhere else to watch?

Would a Penn Battle II 8000, 6’6” medium heady power moderate action rod with power pro 20-40 lb test work? I don’t have a huge budget right now. Now when you talk about lb test with braid, are you taking about the braids lb test diameter or actual lb test. Size jigs and brands for a setup like that? Looking to go for fish like amberjacks and whatever is pretty big and hungry

waw Jason Amaizing Fishing

What kind of leader do you use for toothy fish like king fish?

Wow! learned a great deal thank you. Subscribing.

Nice video, Captain Mike. What are the two rod and reel setups you presented? Thank you.

Sweet seminars but Im from the west coast and I’ve never heard of stacking braid. 100 or 130 lb hollow core on a 50 size reel for cow tuna

Would it be ok is I used 250 yards of mono and 150 of braid for my spin fisher 6500 for vertical jigging

Do you gut hook a lot of fish while vertical jigging

thanks great video.i have zaragosa 10 k what size braid do you recommend.i enjoy your seminar.thank you for sharing your experiences and skills.

Hi Capt. Mike. I would like to ask. Is this a balance set up, reel saltiga dogfight 7000h, rod saltiga airportable J58XXHS. Btw thanks for sharing your experience, skills and tips. I learn a lot from your channel.

when will the seminar on dolphin from the other day get uploaded. Didn't get a chance to watch it

It's my first time into vertical jigging. I order a Shimano Trevala spinning. Power: Heavy / Action : Moderate Fast. I'm gonna out fit with Bg5000 with 65Lb braided powerPro line with 80Lb Vanish Fluorocarbon top shop..... any views about my set up

If the hooks are on the bottom and you tie to the welded ring on the top of the jig, and you catch a fish o the bottom hooks. You are then pulling on the jig and not a welded ring. You are then back to the old style of hook on bottom and tied at top.

Will a daiwa bg 6500 be good for jigging

Is it all about balance? I wasn’t sure.

Good lock

When you say you are going to drop the jig to a particular depth, what is your method of knowing how far you have dropped the jig?

Feb 17 2018. jigging rod 6-4 7oz max biminni twist with a bristol knot leader. This is where I'm lost. Do I need a barrel swivel in between the leader and the jigg and if so what knot.. thanks The date?? First time out offshore I'm knew plz don't bash me on this..

hey cant. mike. where can i get the hammered diamond jigs?

Would A daiwa bg 5000 reel with 33lbs drag , 65lb braid310yds/and a Penn carnage jigging rodd be a good combo for jigging

Is 25 lb drag 300 yards of 30lb (tested to 45 lb) line enough?

I have a Shimano 6k twinpower reel and looking to get into vertical jigging more. I plan to target yellowfin up to 60lbs and decent sized AJ's off wrecks in south florida. I want to go as light as I can on the rod but do not want to worry about the rod not being able to handle the fish. Which rod would you recommend? I was thinking a 200g medium heavy rod or maybe even a 100g medium rod if i could get away with it

Probably a dumb question: WHY the leader is bigger (Lb. test) than our lines IE 40 Braid line to 60 Mono.... Is'nt suppose that the WEAKEST LINK LAW always work ? OR: our 40 Braid line suppose to break before 50 Mono as well as 60, 70, 80... ?

What reel is that on your rod in this vid?

I have a 4000 spinfisher 5 with 30 lb braid, only holds 200 yds tho and 17lb of drag. Is this too light?

hi Capt. what is the brand name of the rod?

What about surface irons

What exact rod is that you are showing during this seminar?

What the rod sir ??

i want to be a happy fisherman

Daiwa bg is $130 and is better then most off these reels for $400+

Does anyone get nervous when he swings those jigs with sharp hooks really close to himself while talking?

Not too bad but I'll take the $120 Fin Nor Lethal LT 100 any day of the week. No need for a $800-1000 reel.

👍👍👍👍👍

Next time you catch a 20 pound Bonita, bleed it, and then fillet it down to the very inner part of the loin and you will be blown away at how good it is

U didn't go over flat falls much other than the shimano comparison

$800 !!! 🤯

I know this video is kinda old by now, but I lost a fish because it fell through the pier board cracked deck 😂

Lol... you need high quality gear.... shows a Diawa 😂

if you paid 400.00 for that rod and it still has a stronger side than you got ripped off rods today rods are equally as strong 360

🇮🇩🤘

You guys really don’t have to yank the rod like that when you are jigging. It wastes too much energy. Slow and steady up and down is all you need to catch fish. Trust me. Been doing it for years.
