HI all finally got my boat repaired and with all the talk of jews every1 has been catching i wanted to have a crack at some myself, a friend of mine told me of a spot where he gets jewfish constantly i thought to myself but anyways i said lets go and try your spot, we got to the ramp about 8pm launched the boat and went jew hunting, but just my luck the fishfinder was not working, a cable had come loose, anyways off to the channel marker and threw down our full squids,winds were about 25knots and there was a 1Meter swell but we persisted, 1st half an hour nothing, i still had hope as the tides were favourable and it was 2 days after the full moon, a little while later mt mates rod (4kg) bends over after a couple of short runs a nice soapie 64cm 10 min later im on with another soapie about the same size a while later the jews stop and i hook up a healthy snapper 42cms later we get a tailor about 33cm another smaller snapper and a nice bream also just before we were about to leave we scored 2 more jews, all in all we scored 4 jews (largest 70cm....no monster i know) and a few other fish, we would get hit and lose fish a number of occasions, i am thinking of using circle hooks next time i am out on the water, also just a note, i was using 2 rods a 3kg bream outfit with running sinker rig and the other was 15kg boat outfit with patanoster rig...... i found the jews would drop the bait as soon as they felt the weight of the sinker on the paternoster rig, as all jews were landed on light tackle....... Btw... we also caught a small Hammerhead shark (was released). hope you like the pics will be out there again this weekend
Hi all i was hoping of getting down to the haweksbry river and chase some Jews, i was curious if any1 knew where was a suitable place to chase these things, also where could squid be found in Botany?
