    hey raiders

    i've had the jew monkey on my back for quite some time but now its broken with the help of another fisho nathan (beginner)

    i had been trying for jew for a good year or more and with time running out (baby on the way in 2 weeks)this was my last chance

    the evening started out with trying to collect livies only managed 2 large yakkas in 2 hours but managed to catch undersized bream and reefies with were released

    the target was jew were headed to the spot in which we settle in for the night finally we had a prime position very late in the evening with the baits in new territory things looked bleak we were chatting then nathan says your rod so i get ready ,wait, look and stare the live liner starts its run grab the rod go to set the hook but no hook up wtf

    then a short time after my lightest rod gets attention 8lb on this rod as its my bream stick 2 small runs and a bent stick later no hook up nathan turns and says i cant believe this you should have hooked up at least by now and i say come fishing with me and thats all i get runs but no hook ups how wrong could i get later in the picture now the big rod get some rod bending action not wanting to over do it i strike boom im on the bouncing of the rod tells me and me its a fish i never caught before its a jew and my 1st

    i get it in to shore nathan nets it the net snaps at the join it was not up to the challenge its a 64cm jew with shaking of hands and pats on the back a smiles all round

    i decide to clean the fish after a discussion with about the mess at home its would leave (scales) i get a fresh bait out in the same area

    later as i cleaning nathan yells out again the rod its the same rod again nathans already hooked the fish and begins the reel in its bigger he says he hands the rod to me and goes to get my net from my car by the time he got back i washed the 68cm jew on to the rocks bellow we bring it up more high fives are thrown around like they are worth less i still cant believe it got my 1st jew and broke a pb on the second one and all in good company

    i feed mine and my wifes family this evening with them freshest fish they'll ever eat

    cheers mick

    agree with jim77 here

    from land i was throwing a 65gram raider at fish that were busting up in botany bay and they did not take notice i knew that my lure was to big and down sized accordingly when they came into closer range

    night fish in lower parra fri 21st

    hey raiders

    went for a night fish in search of the elusive jews that have been mocking me so armed with livies and 3 rods i hit the parramatta river on friday night its was very quite on the fish front my livies were getting bumps but nothing serious like i had wanted

    i think tailor my have been chewing on them as my hooks would come up clean them around the change of tide i got a thump then no more bits on my old faithful the ugly stick tiger bring her in and wow the theirs a beautiful flathead netted it yeha

    my biggest and new PB i was going to put her back as i was excited but i new i could get 3 meals from her

    my wife does not eat fish so more for me quickly reset the rod and put it in the same spot as soon as the livie hit the bottom it got hits straight away boom boom boom i waited for a run that never came reeled it in i was bitten off clean my two snelled 5/0 hooks were gone the rod had 15 lb leader i quickly upgraded to 20lb i got it out alas

    the area went quiet just the regular bumps waited the night out till my projected time to leave the jews had won but i had a fantastic consolation prize my best flattie it went 73cms weighted a bit under 3kgs and im having some flattie fillets for lunch yummo

    cheers

    hay raiders

    long time no report been trying as of late to catch my first real jewfish

    me and my mate and his 2 sons hit the Hawkesbury River for an all nighter on the 13 of jan water a flithy and it rained a little bit on and off

    we must have caught a 100 catfish between 4 of us and we started to get bored

    so we decided to catch prawns by hand that were in the rocks and surroundings we mananged 1 large one and 2 small ones my mate toss him on the bank and the shock killed it

    i said their goes your live bait idea anyhow my mate puts him on his rod and alittle after the change of tide bang the reel is screaming short fight later and a drag through a rocky outcrop a 58cm model is landed as we had no net due to lack of space

    small jewie caught on fresh as scampy prawn 20lb leader on standard running rig

    Coffs Harbour landbased?

    if it was me going to coffs i'd bring a 10foot spin rod matched to reel that holds aleast 200 plus metres more is better of 30lb line and throw some chrome slices in 50grams around the front / north end of mottonbird island but be careful, watch the seas here and have the right safety gear to fish

    or fish the beach and jetty there with plastics for bream and whiting

    hope that helps
