johnno Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) 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 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 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 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. 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 Edited January 15, 2007 by johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Mate, I know how you feel, I have caught more Pike eels than Jewfish myself while chasing jews. Anyway you deserve top marks for effort and I hope your Jewfish is not to far away Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_Cura Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) I know the fealing about pike ells. Whilst night fishing last week at Berowa i hooked 4 of the things.

Can u use pike eels as live bait for Jews? Fuj. 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....
