Scratchie

No prob luc, I thought the boys already ate it but diesel must have hidden it and took it home! Agree, fresh Jew is unreal. Enjoy!

Anytime diesel. Was an awesome weekend and good to you get your butt up here! Was a bit disappointed I didn't get you onto one the next day but that's fishing. It also leaves an excuse for you to come back up soon! Cheers champ!

Hi Zac, Land based, really only the beaches are you a chance of jewfish. If you hire a boat your more of a chance! When I get a chance I'll pm you! Cheers scratchie!!!

trumpeter- not really good for live bait but generally school with whiting!

Mate, they enjoyed it. I've already eaten two this week! Thanks

Mate there is more fish in the bay than you think!If you bring the boat let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

I commented before and now I've watched the video, that's gold. You have one very talented decky there. And that video just portrays a magic moment for you both. Awesome! Cheers scratchie!!!

Sure was caught in the bay! The bay is an absolute Mecca for Jew! As well as the beaches out the front. I'm yet to get one from there yet but seen some stonkers pulled out. I will one day when I can drag myself away from my boat!

You sure will. I'm guessing November can't come quick enough!

You went to all the right places. Well done, a Jew is a Jew! Bigger than my first in that exact spot! Cheers scratchie!!!

Luc, I would have made more of an effort if you told me there were fish in there! Lol It was a great fish anyway, regardless of specie! Cheers scratchie!!!

Great stuff linc, you doubled your PB on that fish. Now the hard part, to double your new PB. You wouldn't want to be using 8lb then! Great write mate, well done. Cheers scratchie!!!

Good on ya for getting out there. There weather very different up here too! Rain, wind, sun then repeated. The fishing was much the same too! Cheers scratchie!!!

Enjoy guys! Might give stuey time to rest those arms from the last trip!!! Cheers scratchie!!!

Been teaching him for years now! He must just love watching me catch em! One day he'll surprise us!

Haha, your funny mate! I'm dedicating today to get him one!

Didn't get the chance for a snooze, just put my head down and bang! But it's a sound worth getting up for!

Cheers Pete! You get one soon. The jewies are never disappointing!

Thanks. It's a great place to fish!!!

Port stephens is always a good spot to start!!! Fishes well anytime of year but around then I will be targeting, snapper and kings! If you decide to come up this way I'll send you a few marks! Cheers scratchie!!!

Looks pretty boring guys!!! Don't know why you were all smiling so much! Yes, yes, I'm jealous. Great stuff and some amazing fish there. Hope your arms are really sore! Well done Cheers scratchie!!!

Hi all, Went out today with fellow raider diesel on our end of year bash with our local fishing club. I managed to talk them into having at the beautiful port stephens. After a few quiet ales the night before, the plan was hatched and we stuck to our guns. First of all we drifted Taylor's beach for about 10 whiting in the live tank, of which diesel contributed most. Then it was time to hit Jew spot!!! Out went the livies and we both threw a few SP's for no result. Was a gorgeous morning on the water and without much action happening it was time for a little siesta, as the livies were still out. Then just as I was comfortable zzzzzzzz. I jumped up, grabbed the rod and strike. I knew what it was, it was just a question of how big??? After a great little fight and some good team work, on board comes this fine specimen! Due to a bit of damage sustained during the fight, it had to come back and feed the boys! It measured 78cm and 4.7kg and a great result for team scratchie. There's a few about ATM so get out there if can! Cheers scratchie!!!

Thanks champ! But from all posts I've seen your the master on the Jews with SP's!

West head probably the best grounds. Or one of the bays in Cowan. Jerusalem bay is very good at night. Cheers scratchie!!!

From what I've learnt so far, the retrieve is not as important as keeping it in the strike zone. Basically work the sp where you would keep your bait. A single lift, pause and retrieve is fine. Maybe a double flick, pause, single flick. You need to be able to feel the sp. hope that helps. I've only just started!
