This report from Cormac Walsh of The Lure Fishing Podcast: 

Some awesome fishing recently with long range casting on different venues providing a variety of species on metal jigs. This is a method I hadn’t tried much before but it can be absolutely deadly once you have the right gear.

A powerful rod and reel required to blast out 40g jigs and to crank the fish back in. It’s definitely not finesse fishing but it sure is exciting, with an interesting variety of fish.

I had large numbers of bass, a cracking 5lb coalfish, pollack, and a surprising double hook up of wrasse and bass.

So get rid of those creatures baits and get jigging, you never know what you might catch!
