Kane what a great report, thanks

It was actually 8 tonnes, and came from the 7 mile beach area near Gerroa.

Any size to the jew Matt.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH pure blondes, i smashed 1/2 a doz this arvo..........how good do they go? I think i have a problem. Not as big as yours but a problem none the less.

Wicked flatties mate......you'll crack the 1metre there i reckon.

Sorry mate but i am not from the area and i know exactly where it is. it is not hard to see that you are under a low bridge, and the concrete tower in the background even blind freddy would know where you are. Great jew though, keep up the good work.

I got mine from my local (south coast NSW) most Okuma stockists should have them though. Where are you situated?

G'day Bombora, I have been using the 6'6 3-5kg for SP snapper fishing and i am in love. Light weight and as much grunt as you want, it is faultless. BTW they are called "Celilo"

The river is fishing really well for flatties and bream at the moment, are you shore based or will you be fishing from a boat?

G'day Stix, Thanks heaps for sharing that info with us all, it was a great rea. Got any more stuff like that? My first account with luring jews was years ago when i fished with the Chalker brothers (Dundon's proteges)from Gosford for them. They would use large strong beach rods fitted with alveys and spin the narrow, shallow creeks around the bridges with gold bombers. It was amazing watching this at night with the fish coming out of the darkness of the bridge shadows and engulf the lures in the lit up water. Absolutely mind blowing ...................memories that will stay with me forever.

I'll have a guess, 19kg cleaned Beautiful jew regardless of the weight. Well done to the lucky angler.

They have a jerkshad shape that looks the goods and i want to know who the agent is so my local can get them in for me.

sensational jew. Was it caught on bait or lure?

Anthony perservere(spelling????) mate....your jew won't be far away. Firstly please understand that i am by no means an expert jew fisho, however i have caught a few and all on SP's. I don't reckon that there is one proven retrieve method.....what i mean is that different retrieves will work on different days. Saying that though i do favour the lift and drop method. The jew will nearly always hit the lure on the drop....it is important to watch your line for movement as quite often the fish will take the lure and do nothing till you hook them on the next lift of the rod. You prolly haven't had any success as yet cause the water is still a bit cold.....be patient they will turn up. BTW was there any signs of bait in your possie? as this is a good sign that predatory fish such as jew won't be far away. Keep at it mate and best of luck.

Spot on jewhunter.....spot on

Lurespinner in my opinion the Stradic is streaks ahead of the Capricorn

100mm Squidgy fish in Silver fox colouration....makes the jew go nuts.

EP's are pussies when are you Shire rookies gunna chase something decent.....like jew or something

G'day Mitch i am now a Shoalhaven fisho but i know the Tuross and Coila systems intimately. I have fished them for around 12 years up until about 5 years ago. Top spot in paradise.

Great report Mitch, sounds like you had some fun, can't beat the Tuross and Coila lake systems that's for sure.

Changa, you've obviously never caught a jew.

Solid fish, i'd say 18.5kg

G'day dart, I have never fished the dams but when i owned a restaurant in the valley i fished a few of the tiny feeder creeks for some astounding sized bass. up to 50cm at times. We had most success on hard body's in green and brown colouring.

Gotta have a plan haven't ya Chris

C'mon Swoffa, he said big, 10kg is only a schoolie
