This is a Wahoo This is a Spanish MacBoth these were caught at SWR. A bit smaller than yours but I think they show the difference. Ive spent a lot of time at SWR over the last 25 years and it's just like any other location, sometimes the fish dont play ball!!
It's harder on a charter boat to get 10 fishermen a great fish, more so if light game fishing. If you were in a tinnie with a mate and caught that fish it would be a great days fishing! Small concillation I know when you fork out the extra dollors, but thats fishin!

Fished in the lower Hawkesbury River yesterday and pulled a few Jewies. My mate Dave (spooled again) did quite well, landing these 7.5kg & 8.5kg jewies. He also Landed 10 other smaller jews between 50cm & 60cm that were released.

myself and a few mates went down to catch some cod in lake mulwala, fishin was hard and the weather even harder on us. managed 7 cod up to 63cm and a few pics in between the weather.

Very nice work Sea Rabbit. I would have been there the same time as you. Fantastic by catch in the form of a fat jack. You can improve your slow trolling hook up rate significantly by using a treble as the 2nd hook.

Thanks mate i will give that a go next time.

I went to SWR last weekend with a couple of mates Mick & Blake. Friday arvo we started off in the mackleay river chasin jews with herring, no luck for us but i weighed an 11kg model for a fellow angler at the boat ramp.
Next morning we strugled to get livies so then we trolled skirts to fish rock & the FAD. picked up a stripy & mac tuna before havin some fun with the little dollies.
We tried our luck for a jew again and Mick scored his very first. a nice 9kg model.
Next morning after all the reports we headed down with every other boat to get some spotties. (52 boats) & us at grassy head & just about every one of them getting fish too. we ended up getting 4 to 4kg and dropping another 8.
One last attempt at the jewies produced a 2.2kg mangrove jack for Mick.
Cheers Brett

G'day Poacher
i just got back myself from swr (last weekend) & we were prob one of those 50 odd boats you fished with. we got 4 spotties to 4kg walking livies & dropped about 8. there were plenty of dollies at the fad as well, prob because all the boats were at grassy. and we got a 5kg mac tuna at fish rock. so a very similar trip mate.
-
I think i see a pattern forming here.(going fishin more often, catching more fish) well done and happy birthday fellas.

Your quite right about the tide Brett, what I meant to say and didn't say was that I would have preferred to see Marcel and Ray start off early morning on the alternate week when a run in tide starts to run in around daybreak with the changeover in the dark side of morning and then they'd get another go during the hours just before dark with a high starting to run out again around 2am or so that week and thinking of favoured tides but not taking into account that Ray and Marcel might not have long hours available... if fishing the Hawkesbury for instance one could go over to say Juno or perhaps a bit wider off Walker point towards line Lion Island to get the early evening the run in tide again and then move to say the Road bridge or settle in off Wobby and fish thru the stillwater thru the run out tide, hoping to strike few good size jewfish in among the large amount of soapies that are all thru the Hawkesbury system at the moment..
Happy New Year Brett to Wayne and yourself and your families and I wish you both the best with your Hawkesbury sessions and I hope to get a chance to meet up with you both in 2010
Cheers

G'day Byron
Happy new year to you as well mate, yes lets get out and have a fish in 2010. send me or waynie a pm when you think a big jew might be lurking about & we will go catch him eh. we might have to go out in your boat as it will be more comfy for your back i think, (no seats in my centre consol boat, only an esky to sit on).

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Brett - you seem to know your stuff and the rewards are coming your way due to the time and effort that you put into your trips.
I believe timing is everything and knowing how to read your surroundings is very beneficial.
Fishing is just like any other sport - we need to put the time in to get the results and by the look of it Brett you and your posse are just doing that. well done mate.

your dead right mate (time & effort). im lucky in that i knock off work at 2pm mon to thurs & 11;30am fridays so i have plenty of afternoons to test all tides & suss out spots to fish. but it wasnt always the case, i remember my brother in law & i had the HH to brake, (hawkesbury hoodoo). plenty of catfish & eel trips till we learnt about big fresh bait. im also lucky to have an understanding wife that accepts my passion to land a 30kg jew.

G'day Marcel
you were in fact fishing the incomeing tide from 2am to daylight. & from the sounds of it that is the right tide ? im not sure myself as i dont fish the harbour or para river that much. but i do know that the best layed plans dont always produce results, you just have to keep at it and it will happen.
also at the moment if you want to catch jewfish u should try the lower hawkesbury . a friend of mine fished the run out today from daylight to midday and caught 8 jew with a few keepers. i also fished last monday , tuesday & wednesday and got jew each day fishin flint n steel, gunyah & rail bridge. didnt get that big one but we got plenty of school fish up to 3kg.
cheers brett

Considering all the corrosion happening on the GOR these photos are priceless, and capture how it is now. Thank you for sharing therm with us.
Cheers
Mrs Flightmanager
yes Mrs Flightmanager, god knows how long these formations will last. This shot below of the Island arch had a arch between the 2 pillars the day before i captured this image, the weather was so bad it was pointless attempting a photograph, so i thought no worries i will come back tomorrow. But alas the 7 metre seas rocked the pillars and brought down the arch the night before this shot.

Your in the right area for a big red. Try to fish light weighted baits and plastics. Anchor and berley if you can and drift a whole pillie down the trail. if not drift over your mark and cast in the direction of your drift. less weight is better for big reds.
