  1. Hey man Ive been using mustad penetrator hooks for livebaiting little poddys, they're light gauge but still fairly strong. 3/0 is a good universal size, Pin em under the chin and out through the top of the nose

    I did $64 in 3 casts one night on them....... on lures the score rests at Dave: 2 Red Satan: 14 I should also add those 14 average about $16 each

    Haha that's heavy man, think I'm up to number 5 surface lures for this year, and I thought I was doing it hard. Understand why you n rick both hate them now lol. I used to feel the same way about mulloway

    So these things bite the lures off? A similar nuisance to Leatherjackets then. Do people who fish for them use wire trace? Cheers bn

    G'day Neil, I haven't used wire trace or heard of anyone doing it before but I'm definitely no expert on the topic mate..They do have gnarly teeth though. Like dirvin said, they'll bust you off before you even know it, really powerful. And angry!

    horrible evil red demons...nice to see u getn a few..im wit dirvin we hate em.....rick

    Haha really, Ive been thinking lately of getting one as a pet. Psychoest little fish, I reckon they're awesome

     

  4. Some pretty good info there ^^^^

    I run mono off the beach, I just find it easier for long casts, and having that stretch helps absorb a lot of tension in the line too. It's more comfortable to fish with I reckon.

    Bait and presentation is important for sure, but the key is picking the right gutter to fish. If conditions are right and you know you're in the best gutter along that beach then it's only a matter of time till some jew turn up. Sometimes it's more a matter of patience than skill lol

    bloody hell. that monster took a WORM?!

     

    here i am thinking they took slabs of salmon fillet

    Haha sure did, schoolies love em. I don't bother with slabs anymore there's too much rubbish bycatch. And with worms the bycatch isn't so bad..Youll catch way less shovelnose and rays using worms, BUT I reckon if you're after a proper big jew then a slab is the way to go ?

  6. Thank you gents

    awesome jewie

    how do you reckon shop brought beachworms would go?

    They'll catch fish, Ive tried the tweed bait worms before and they were fine. Some tackle shops sell locally caught ones too which is pretty handy. 

    Man ive even used gulp! soft plastic worms when I couldn't get any beach worms, and we caught bream on them. Surely a Jew would bite one too.

    Nice little video, not easy with one hand on the paddle by the looks.

    Haha yeah mate I need some practice at that, bit of a newbie to the kayak scene lol. Forgetting to bring the net was a rookie move, I ended up cutting my foot around those mangroves on something sharp. Ya learn from it all but :)

    Nice spot for a drift and it paid off, good sized flathead ... it looks fishy especially with all those yabby holes in the flats.

     

    That's it, although I've worked that whole bank a few times now with nipper soft plastics for not even a touch? Maybe the big girls just aren't interested in em. There's always people pumping them further downstream though

    Nice fish mate. Looks like that lure works a treat! That looks like it will be a cracking winter spot. As the weather & water cools the big lizards get into the shallows during the day to get warm. It's exciting fishing. Well done.

    Cheers mate yeah it's a beauty, gets down pretty deep and has a nice action, it looks sick underwater.  It hit on the pause when it was suspending

    Looking forward to those colder months, after seeing some of those big lays in the sand it's hard not going back ay

    Nice stuff!

    poppers are mad fun

     

    Cheers man, I was literally flicking them only a couple of meters off the bank around the trees and stuff and just walking it back slowly. Can't wait till a big one comes along. Heaps of fun, except for all the mozzies. Got so hectic we had to leave haha

    You look a bit overdressed for the occasion! Haha :lol:

    Hahah I was thinking the opposite.

    One night we were down there, had just arrived with some fresh worms right before dark, threw one out into the gutter and popped the rod in the holder, when out of nowhere this big troopy comes flying past up the beach and drives straight through my line. Lucky the baitrunner was on, he spooled us in about 5 seconds! Old mate had no idea he just kept driving along. You get some clowns up there from time to time.. We didn't fish sami for awhile after that lol

    Great report Mitch! Always good to go back to your old stomping ground! Would I be right in saying samy beach? Should have let me know you were down this way and we could have teed up a trip out on the boat! Always next time! 

    Cheers scratchie!!! 

    Thanks scratchie, yep correct about Sami. There were some unreal gutters along there near the exit when we first got down. Was so good to fish some old spots again. Shall shoot you a message next time we're around town mate that would be awesome
