G'day Michael and thanks for the Q.<br><br>The jig flies I was talking to Dan about (above) are red hot on dorado related species. <br><br>Just had a Boat Capt return from his season chartering around some islands on our west coast and this is what he had to say about them:<br><br>"Steve, just got back from the Montebello Islands. Wow! What a trip. <br><br>I have found a new use for that dolphinfish jig-fly though it is rather smashed up by samson fish and now mackerel. <br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.demonjigs.com/images/mack.jpg"><br><br>We now have samson fish, mackerel (spanish, spotted ,school, shark) also tuna and snapper on the list. This little bugger seems to work on everything" (Capt Kevin Hack).<br><br>These jig flies come in two versions and weights. The heavier has a double (opposing) hook rig on wire and is perfect for surface skipping and firing up Dorado. You can also sight cast them around drifting debri (or other FAD's), or stick them on a kite.. <br><br>Judging by this latest, and unsolicited, report - under the right conditions they appear to fire up just about anything that has pelagic next to it's name. <br><br>Personally, I an dead keen to give them a run on Sailfish as well and will be doing that shortly when we head for Samoa and a low level tourny their. <br><br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
