    in Fishing Chat

    Posted · Edited by hooklineandsinker

    hell alot of a jump people will still take them under size if the size limit goes up to 110 think that number is wrong but don't jews start to spawn at 70 or 75cm and up though

    hey raiders

    looking at a boat that has a merc on her motor looks fairly new a 90s era have to ask what year it is

    mates uncle said they are rubbish engines and are prone to break down i said its like a car treat the engine like shit and dont service enough then it will cause you grief

    somewhere down the line

    but are their any raiders that have an opinion or facts on this subject

    cheers

    Travel rod suggestion pls.

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    I wanted to try a travel rod out as it's easy to travel with so I got tsunami travel rod Its 4-8 kgs 8 foot long and 173 grams in weight and runs their own components but at $36 on special normally 80 it's great value and paired with my 4000 stradic and 15 pound line it's good for that after work session or metals of the rocks

    That's what I got anyhow

    Your not wrong, I named it Bruce :biggrin2:

    Thanks mate, I was in only in 10 metres of water

    Thanks Outfisher. I looked up the size to weight ratio myself and saw that myself. When I tried to weight it on the 60lb boga grips it was off the scales before I had lifted it off the ground, a couple of the boys who picked it up reckon it was definitely over 30kg. I really don't know to be honest but wish I got a proper measure before it got filletted.

    Cheers Keflapod, I never actually caught a Jew until I got my little tinny last year then cracked one within hours hours of buying the boat. I've been smashed a few times by big fish on light gear but had no chance of getting them in and everytime I go out with heavier gear it doesn't get touched (Murphy's Law!). To me this was the holy grail of fishing over any other species, only problem is now I have the Jewie fever and want to get back out there to get another one...

    Can anyone tell me how to get the jewel out of it's head? I saw some instructions on the internet but no diagram and to was really struggling to find it

    Cheers humesy, you're right mate got the Baitmate board, works a treat and is the only way to go with limited space

    Thanks Hooked up, The adrenalin was definitely pumping but did my best to keep calm during the fight. Definitely a bit shaky once it was in the boat and I realised how big it was

    i get my jewels out with a hack saw blade and my hands not my pic but you get the idea of location

    your jewels should well be the size of 20cent coins or bigger best bragging rights and proof too

    hope you still got the fish head
