Was down in windang on the weekend also, scooped up 2 squids sent it out the back while prawning but no Jew fish takes. Used the 200 grams of prawns I caught on the Sunday and hook a big fatty only to have the circle hook fail as I was beaching her. First I have had the circles fail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bad luck on the flatty. Strange things happen some times? Sure you will get a bigger 1 soon. We're you landbase for the squid?
-
Yeah they are their but I got mine I'm winter all on the run out tide. This is one I got last year. http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=75993'>image.jpg
I might have to ask for a meet up next time you target a Jew down that way?
-
. Wow. I might have to start and work out the channel and try to find where these great fish would be found.Yeah last year I pulled 7 out of that channel. On Friday night a guy pulled on that was about 60cm on a prawn he found on the ground. -
Good work mate, every time I fish there I only manage to catch a cold. Haha. I think the lake would hold good fish I've seen pics of good Jews being caught close to the caravan park. Have you seen or caught any?
-
So true, I wouldn't fish there normally but thought there was a chance a few Jews would be around. Some people take all the fun out fishing, and destroy chances for fish to breed .Top stuff. I was there yesterday during the day. We were the only ones there then it got packed as. Shit place to fish but close to home so may as well wet some line. Don't bother saying anything to the people who keep undersized fish. You'll either get ignored, cop an ear full, or be threatened.
The fisheries are hopeless. What do they do, stand at popular boat ramps. They want their job to be easy as possible. Wait at the ramp and check boats. They need to be more active and check places by going to the spot, parking the car and getting down onto the jetty or wharf. They do have a direct number, check the sticky in fishing chat called illegal fishing. I used to fish the wharfs quite often a while back. 80% of the time the police boat would stop up at the wharf and check licenses and fish. Its hilarious watching people piss bolt to their cars.
Ive only ever had success with telling someone to release a fish once. At that was after the dead shit was sitting there measuring it for about 10 minutes. 15cm bream is a 15cm bream no matter how many times you measure it.
-
Hay does anyone know is there a direct number to reach fisheries officers when you see people taking undersized fish. I once said something to a guy and almost got hit for it.But really gets my goat and wish we could do more on this.
I agree. I think it's more about conservation not consumption .
-
Congrats on the Jew. Man they are a great looking fish in any size.
Thanks they sure are. I'm already planning my next trip , new spot new fish
-
Thanks Tom . Shame on the spot. Dirty place, but I finally got one. Something to improve on.
-
Try bald face? I've got some good flatties there

Decided to hit Kissing point wharf last night to see if there were any jews biting and was quite surprised. Fished here once before for a few small bream and flatty but thought id try my luck once more.
Arrived about 9.30pm to find half of the locals packing the jetty. with no where to fish i stood there for nearly a hr ,watching someone pull in a bucket load of under sized taylor
Where a fisheries when you need them. I kept telling him to throw them back but he couldnt understand.
He soon left so i jumped down and started fishing. I threw out a strip of squid and stood back and waited, not much happening i thought id chech my bait and try again.
Re baited and casted right out into the darkness, ten minute pass, bump, bump.... felling a few bumps i strike and im on. Straight away i know its nothing big but keep the pressure on.
After a quick little battle i see a flash of silver and know i have a little jew, quickly pick him up with my heart racing a million beats a minute.
a qiuck little measure and pic and send him back on his way, much to the surpise of the others standing there . stayed for a few more hours but nothing else really happening.
Not the best place to get one but i finally got the monkey off my back . He went about 48cm .
He went around 48cm. the pic wasnt the best , i know it all happened quick and i wanted to get him back in the water.
cheers evan.

That stuff would make for great tv. Take the go pro swordy next time people will pay money to see that humor
-
Good work mate your on fire the last few months! Keep it up
-
Good work Tom I've been waiting to read one of your great reports. You really know how to bag those fish. Hope the waters good up there for inter club ant the end of feb I'm fishing with my club for the first port Stevens experience . Great Jew ill get one before Xmas this year.
-
I'd stick to single hooks if it was me. Personal choice . They hit the lures more aggressively when the bait chamber is on apparently., so I'd think you would get a good hook up anyway?
-
Hey mate use a slab of slimie . They say to match it with the lure but mix it up and see what works best for you?Got my lures aswell. Only took a few days.
What bait are you all using for marlin?
-
yeah I have that lure too . It's great lookinghaha nice, yea they sure are... also a great lure in purple frigate. -
Yeah nearly pulled the paint off the medium evil pusher. It's a great looking lure in the water. Leaves a good trail.

I heard reports yesterday from batemans bay toll gate classic that there was only 1 billfish and a few tuna got over the whole 40+ boats, if I heard correct so not much happening . South of Sydney is pretty hit and miss there were 30 odd boats in the area we were 10 got fish up and only 2 boats got them boat side. Pretty tough day but shouldn't be too long before it fires up
-
Hey bookwa I ordered a few extras and got it the next day. Super quick. Great lures
-
Just watch your sounder what there's loads of bait the marlin are often close by, can't really go past a troll if its your first time, but ill be fishing the tide change with slimies unless they smash lures before? Each day us different every area is different cant say what's right or wrong
-
Definately get slimies. Find bait balls for the tide change and send a slimie down. Give your lures a shot the have been a few in close so it's worth a shot. Heading out myself down south. Can't wait good luck.
-
All reports are most finding them in 40 fathoms so throw the lures in as early out the heads. Good luck can't get out till sunday
-
Good work Andrew . Headed out Friday down south. Marked heaps of bait but the seals were just a pain trolled most if the day for nothing, hopefully heading out next weekend for better results. I heard a few reports of baby's being tagged off botany with the water a few degrees warmer. Should only take a week to hit south.
