Well my brother was heading up for a socialday for his fishing club

and said did i want to tag along but he didn,t tell me i was taking my boat :biggrin2: how convient.

Well we got to Brooklyn at around11.30 on saturday arvo and went and pumped some nippers and then

proceeded to catch some live bait. We got 2 tailor 10 mullet and got a bream as a bi-catch chasing bait.

We then setup for jewies under train bridge and waited and waited no hits so we moved to another spot

didn,t know where but we dropped lines agian there with one of tthe dead baits getting picked the hell out off.

Well our first fish was a 30 cm port jackson :mad3: we then moved spot to try a different spot for awhile

nothing there also.

Moved on and a mate had a big run in and spat the hook

Then not even 15minutes later i here my reel start ticking then a small zzz then bang zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i pick it up and the adrenaline was going thinking yes my first jewie. After a quick fight we get it into sight

and that sinking feeling you get that

you just know but can,t explain came over me.

It was a

pike eel :ranting2: so that got cut and we re-rigged that line and dropped again

and my brother saw his live mullet going a little nuts and then stop.Bring it in and 3/4 of it

gone one chomp. :ranting2:

We then fished all night chasing tides around alittle

but no jewie but done well on the live bait front and got burnt to hell on the overcast saturday.

But enjoyed myself.

Here is a pic of the pike eel it was as close as i wanted to get it to me

about 1.5m long

Unlucky there Johnno, you sound like u deserve the mutha of all Jewfish went it comes!

Still, I'm sure it was fun fishing with your bro.

Can u use pike eels as live bait for Jews?

Fuj.

:074::074: That would be a good joke to play on someone. Nah mate there good for nothing. I have had an asian man gratefully take one i caught. As soon as he had it in his bucket he packed his gear up and went home obviously excited about his catch.

Too ugly for me to eat though....
