James, nothing seemed to go in your favour over the weekend. Not a weekend to look back on.
They say bad luck comes in threes or was that trees. Anyway I hope things get better and it starts to look up from here on in.
May your next fish be that 80ib jew scaled cleaned ready for a few kilos of chips
Cheers

cheers buddy

I wouldn't give up on the off-shore stuff. I think you need to change what you are targetting and what you are using for bait.
For my mind, after that weekend, I think you could probably identify a couple of clowns who need to take a turn at being live bait on a shark rig .... and if you lost your tackle on that one I guess you might feel like you could live with it just a little bit easier.
cheers

not giving up comletely offshore but my interest lie in the river and the fish that i target specifically are jewies.
what do you think i should target? also what bait, please inform me

bad luck mate on the fishing front but at least you managed a few.
did you get the squid?
on sunday when we were getting the salmon off whale there must have been 10 other boats and from i could see they were all spinning and not getting touches. so i decided to troll around the outside and were picking em off at will
maybe you should have tried trolling the lures
you fishing the jew social?

the mean fiddler?

Opposite Bar Island there are 2 beaches right next to Marramarra creek and Beauty Point they are pretty quiet spots but you do have to get up there as early as possible if not the night before.
Further up the river towards Spencer along side Marlow where the rock house is theres a camping ground which can be quiet called Greenmans valley caravan park you access it via the old pacific hwy at Mt White they have everything, all immenities and a very good boat ramp.
I hope that gives you a few ideas.
Cheers

have to recommend the two beaches.
absolutely beautiful places and during the warmer months the beaches are teaming with bream tailor flathead and whiting.
maximum stay is 3 nights i think at one time on one beach.
but obviously if you want to stay longer move to the other beach.
security maybe an issue though.

what waterways are you fishing
-
I agree sounds very strange, but i can only guess that they cooked the livies on the boat and ate them.
they were still kicking in there mouths.
bloody idiots

ok guys i ve finally decided to right this nightmare of a weekend up.
Saturday
it started 330am saturday morning when i pick up these 2 clowns who had already started drinking for a trip chasing yellowfin. on my advise they purchased kwells as i didn t want anyone wrecking the big day ahead.
by 600 am i kid you not these blokes polished off a case of beer. and by 1200 they polished a total of 2 and a half cases. now back to the kwells they ate 3 boxes between them. now to say these guys were out of it is an understatemnt. they were eating the livies punching each other and running around the boat naked in between there 10 minute sleeping intervals.
back to the fishing our charter operator who i know and speak to regualrly got sea sick and stopped the boat short of a school what i expected were largish albacore and yellowfin. instead of trolling round em which would have put us in with a good chance he starts cubing and we maintained that trail all day with out a touch in the middle of no where.
fish tally 10 eaten yellowtail
Sunday
sunday decided to head out with a couple of mates to long reef wide. all looked nice and we were aware of the afternoon southerly.
after spending a couple of hours trying to get livies to know avail, we pull the pin and head out for long reef, on the way out we see a massive school off whale beach and this school would have to have been the biggest school i have ever seen, with my 2 6500 being the only rods not rigged they were thrown in for a trolling session within seconds of dropping the lures i was on. got my mate to chase the fish back a little as it had 100 metres on me as i let out to much line. he over runs the fish so i tell him to drive forward he plants it and i go in. bye bye 6500 wilson live fibre 100 bucks worth of braid and my brand new glasses.
anyways we got rod left now for trolling and we continue to do so and catch about 9 until once again another mishap my 10 to 15kg backbone gets snapped by something massive. never realised the drag was fully locked and with eighty pound braid something had to give.
now to cut a very long story shorter we get to long reef and instead of fishing we get a call to come back to dural as my 3 mates cars were flattened by a tree, by fallen tree. we turn around in what i must say as the sloppiest conditions ive ever seen rough bumpy and very very slow.
get the boat on the trailor straight to dural and get the old mans truck and chipper to free three cars with only one surviving the other two written off.
fish tally 9 salmon
Absolute nightmare and i kid you not all bloody true.

mate you wouldn t believe it but i had a very similar experience with one of sydneys most well respected guides on saturday.
the trip was a nightmare with some of the company being overally drunk and eating livies to the charter operator getting sea sick, un believable.
the operator sees a school of largish fish so we pull up and instead of trolling round em we bloody start cubing in the middle of knowhere.
i new at this point he had know interest in being there on the day.
he knows who i am and i regularly speak to him.
i was disgusted in the day and we caught nothing to boot besides the livies that got eaten by a couple of idiots.
-
good stuff there mate.
what system did you get the fish in
-
what time did you pick up the jew?
mate it was blowing i got in from long reef wide about 230 but there wasnt much difference in the channel than outside just slop and chop.
good stuff on your fish mate
-
didnt it blow
departed brooklyn in complete beauty no wind and little swell.
picked up some livies then noticed a big school out the front so trolled round them for endless amounts of salmon.
finally departed for long reef wide in relative good conditions, within 2kms of LRW it blew up and got really messy, turned around and home.
crap day
-
dragons are like the eels they are chokers dint even bither there finished
-
bom is full of it.
i was at broken bay wide today in 10 knots of south westerly flat like glass.
they are bound to be right one day.
i ll wait for an updated post on seabreeze and the bom and that will determine where im fishing tomorrow.
thanks for the warning mate

-
whats all the fuss its only 58lb big but not massive.
i believe ya mate
-
really starting to doubt the integrity of these continuous kingy reports never seen one.
come on mate get us a photo i really want to believe you
-
great stuff there mate good on ya.
would have been a top feeling finally seeing the jew come up through the surf
-
Great report .Thats a great catch from the harbour.Those two runs you had might have been jews,just a thought??????
doubt it.
jews rarely feed on the surface you would have maybe allowed it for an option after the first but two i very much doubt it.
would most probably been a pelagic schooling fish causing the havoc

-
bom says 20- 30 so if things don t change i will be sleeping in on sunday.
heading out tomorrow though

righto mate i wouldnt know where to start down that way.
good to see its firing and hope you keep on getting em.
one last question do you guys think these school jew are a product of the 500000 they dropped in there a few years back?
