inhlanzi Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) G'day Raiders Well what a way to end off the week. The darling gave me leave to spend the night on the water. So packed the boat furiously on friday night while trying to keep up with the Broncos and the Doggies match. Left early Sat morning and met up with a good mate and Wayne at the ramp. Armed with at least 8 good jewie rods between the three of us we headed out. Went straight to a run in spot. Fished the tide and no luck. Moved onto spot no two and caught a few livies. Put some down and waited. Long story short - another mate and his wife have pulled up alongside for a yabber and then my rod goes off. Could not believe my luck. After a short but strong fight we got a 5.2kg 76cm jewie in the boat. Yahoooo. A good fat fish much better than the one on Tuesday. That was me done for the weekend! Wayne later got a very nice Flathead around the 5 kilo mark. We ate well, drank well and just had a bloody good time in company of mates. Slept out on the water on Saturday night. Still a bit too cold but you got to love it when you get woken at 5 ish by the Sea Hawk whistle and all you have to do to start fishing is cast your lines in. My mate nailed a nice little Hairtail and continued to fish the tides for more Jewies but alas none more to be found. We ( That is four of us on two boats ) continued to fish through to the big blow on Sunday and then headed home. Had 30 to 40 knott westerly to contend with on the way home and I reckon it just got worse into the afternoon. Washed the boat and cleaned all the gear and the fish. Had 1 inch thick Jewie cutlets grilled in butter and a green salad for dinner!!! Yum yum yum I like this Jewie fishing. If you consider that we had at least 8 dedicated Jewie rods out in three different spots for at least 24 hours and only got one Jewie it shows you what kind of time and effort is needed to get the amazing fish. Hey all in all the end of this week sees me a very happy camper with two 5kg jewies. After months of trying it has finally happened! cheers inhlanzi Edited September 24, 2006 by inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inhlanzi Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ross you should have seen it was a struggle just to get up the channel from Juno and we were in before the real big blow. There were some cars smashed by falling tree branches on the Brooklyn Road I bet the poor SES blokes are flat out tonight. cheers inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Nice fish mate,you put in alot of time and effort and got a good result penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 when you think about the number of man hours you put in to get 1 fish, its no wonder blokes like me dont succeed when we rock up for an hour at any time of the day. Dedication, good on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel-em-in Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 There was a devious rumour that the snoring from one of the four "mates" kept the jewies away in the night. This is absolutely not true. What a pleasure to spend 24 hours on the water with a good mate and then to meet some more. Thanks Wayne for the best burgers on the river. Inhlanzi is one of those blokes who will put in the time and effort to reach his goals. Mike I hope your next Jewie goes double figures.

RodHolder Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Congrats on the catch. really dont want to start something here, but, if you see the thread titled "Christening new combo" the larger fish went 95cm and btw 5 & 6kgs & the smaller fish was measured at 80cm, which was approx 3-3.5kgs. Again, not be littling the catch, EVERY jew is awesome on your line. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
