New to jigging

Hey guys I am pretty new to jogging but very keen to catch fish by artificial instead of baits. Went out jogging yesterday for the first time really behind the 3 mile. I am not really phased that I didn't catch anything but more curious if I was doing it right. I first used a gillies octa jig and jogged it very slowly up and down then changed over to a knife jig on my pe 3 gear (shimano jigwrex pe3 and shimano acceration 6000)I don't know if it was the drift which was very fast or me doing the wrong action but it didn't jig right. It felt like every time I jigged up there was a heap of slack on the way down. I watch heaps of fishing shows as this all I have to go by I was hoping someone could give me some pointers. Thanks guys much aooreciates

Sounded like your drift was very fast or the jig was too light for the depth. What depth were you fishing in and were you using a sea anchor??

Sorry JIGGING...predictive text on iPhone.

We were in 30m and using 100g jigs and using a sea anchor but wasn't doing much was thinking about coming in and having a chat with you Honsu as you seem to know a lot about jigging and fairly willing to give a bit of advice.
Sorry about the spelling.
