ITZAMARLIN

nice jew mate I caught my pj jew 38KG at the end of the run way a while ago now n it did the exact same thing but i managed to get my cousin to bring up anchor and reverse back on it before it took the entire spool of line off my shimano baitrunner 6500 with 50lb braid. There are some massive jew around there. Thanks for the report

Hi guys finished tafe early today and decided to go for a quick fish. went out at 4pm in botany bay off dolls point got back at 8pm. caught a few nice fish in the few hours i was out there. All fish were caught on prawns. there are a hell of alot of stingrays and port jackson sharks around at the moment. also alot of large taylor around but every time i hooked one got bitten off seconds later as i was using 6lb line.

proline - it took an old piece of stinky squid haha . would not even touch the fresh ones or yakka

yeah thanks guys ... got one filthy boat to clean and hell of lot of fish to clean too. yeah 90% of my pbs were caught this year so having a pretty good year - i love my fishing challenging myself to catch bigger fish evry trip.

Hi guys just thought id add a report of todays fishing trip Started off last night in my boat in botany bay about 2am with my little cousin. We were hearing that the jewfish were back in the bay and thought we would give it a go. We were using squid for bait and live yellowtail. Within 1 hour the rod started screaming and after a awesome fight on light line brought up a decent sized jewie.. then not a bite after that. As soon as it was light enough to head out we went outside towards jibbon within 2 mins of anchoring it was total chaos the 4 road we threw in all took off line screaming from the baitrunners eneded up bringing two of them up they were slightly undersized kingfish and let them go .. threw the rods back in and within seconds took of again .. brought up tailor after tailor approx 25 the biggest reached 1.4kgs (lost approx 50 hooks though kept getting bitten off) We ended up moving somewhere closer to shore as it was bit rough and we eneded up getting a heap of yellowtail - 10 flathead 2 over 3kgs and a nice flounder. On the way back to botany bay decided to try get a snapper so stoped just outsize curnell (I think they call it the golfball?) no luck with the snapper on the rods – I had a 100lb handline out with a large squid on it started spinning I grabbed the line and thought what the hell had I hooked ? what a fight I had . after getting it closer to the boat I saw this big blue thing I then knew it was a blue groper got him in the boat eventually- ( my fingers are destroyed) after that decided that was enough for one day and got back a few hours ago.
