Went for an evening Jewfish hunt on the Hawkesbury system with my mate Steve, caught a few livies and headed down to Fint and steel reef.
My mate Steve hooked onto a nice 3-4 kilo Jewie on the first cast! used locally caught squid...
Then Bang on the second cast using the same bait he hooked on a very large Toad fish at least 3 kilos!
Thinking my baits arent workin whats the go, then about half hour later Bang my rod buckles and onto something big... managed to pull it up to be a 4-5 kilo Jewie, now I was content we both caught a jewie each and anything else was a bonus
Amazingly there were no pike eels stealing the bait and no sharks grabbing the livies we also had out!
No other boats were out there too (prob gettin ready for work the next day) so we had the pick of the crop when it came to choosing our spot....
Fished from 1800 to 2230 hours on the high tide, Jewies preffered the fresh squid
