Good size kingy! How light is your gear? I pulled one about this size in Eden NSW on PE4 and it gave me lots of grief.

Great job landing one on micro jigging outfit!

I'm looking to expand my micro jig collection now (currently have 1 haha, lost the others at Bermi).

Everything I had worked, I'm wondering what jigs other people use that they have sucess with (or are cheap and successful haha)

It depends on your definition if micro jigs. I've seen people calling 80-100g jigs micro. To me, anything less than 40g is deemed micro, whereas 40-60g are light jigs.

Will post some photos when i have the time

I have heaps friends who do this kind of stuff land based in warmer water. I have ordered a shore based microjig rod and i should have in about 2 weeks and from there the experimentation begins :)
In the warmer months it might be a fantastic way of catching pinkies .
Any suggestions on deeper water thats accessible land based ?
This will take some amount of experimentation. I asked Chris at the Compleat Angler in the CBD if any of his clients had done something similar and he didnt know of anyone.
