MGibbo Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Hi All - this is my first post and I must say I was very happy with my catch until I viewed several other photos from members of Fishraider. I've loved reading about everyone's fishing adventures and tips and feel I have learnt a lot, thus decided to be part of it. The highlight of last Saturday was catching a 55cm Jewfish whilst my kids mucked around behind the boat on a ski tube. We were drifting around Bar Pt when I decided to cast out a rod with a prawn (unpeeled) to try my luck. BANG my line went and I felt like I was on a fishing show - the rod was bending further than it ever has and as I wound my line in (with much excitement) I sighted how big the jewy was. It's amazing how loud one becomes when pulling in a decent fish. One of my boys then decided to have a fish and again his line also went but unfortunately just before it reached the top it broke off. Apparently I've become quite annoying talking about my catch at home, although my hubby enjoyed eating it. I filleted it and baked it with sweet chilli sauce. DELICIOUS!

zen801 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Congrats, Great fish and its certainly a great feeling to catch a jewie. I know what you mean about the family getting sick of the story. I caught an 8kg one off the beach and god knows my family was sick of me talking about it. Thats why we have fishraider. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

femalefisho Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Good on you - nice to see another female fisher in this site. Good luck with your fishing and look forward to reading your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Rock Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hey - I'm with CFD on this - I've never caught one either (despite many a session specifically targeting them). Congrats MGibbo - if you can slip a little comment about your 'hawkesbury jew' into any conversation you have with a fisherperson you'll see the respect in their eyes. At least that's what I'm lead to believe, not having caught one and all . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
