Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hit the Georges today in search of a Jew at the Bridges ,but to my dismay the water was like chocolate. I spun for 3 or 4 hours for no hits and only managed a couple of flatties and 2 bream . Wasnt a bad day on the water and when the river clears a bit more there should be plenty of fish Cheers Stewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newatthegame Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Bad luck Stewy I went out for the first time Sat and it was the same. Only one bream in four hours. Still jelous that you can go fishing on the weekdays Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 From what I remember the georges river has always been a colour like that, never was too great with all the pollution =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Stewy All the rivers further up the coast were the same! Makes you wonder how they see the lures, sometimes! Gee it can be frustrating when you are out 'working' for that long with little or no reward - the only time I feel better about it is when you are landlubbing & they are boating & still have the same result!

Sammy0884 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 From what I remember the georges river has always been a colour like that, never was too great with all the pollution =( Hi Mate, The river is particularly dirty at the moment due to the massive tides we have been experiencing.

Mondo Rock Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 A question - do you guys think the discoloured water turns the jewies off, or does it just make it difficult to lure fish for them due to the reduced visibility? I had always thought that the big tides are a good time to chase jewies. Maybe it is bait fishing only when the river gets discoloured like that?

domza Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 badluck on the slow fishing mate, always next time Isnt the water a brown colour from all that rain we had last week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 It was nice just cruising up the river at 30 knots with the wind in my face and not a care in the world yea that sounds like the ultimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 At least you managed a couple of fish, mate. Those TT Rev Heads definitely make enough flash, vibration and noise to attract jewies in the dirty water - I have used them a lot for flatties. Hope you get a few next time. Flattieman.

Simonator Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 The river is brown up past Lugarno and Illawong where I am but it isn't affecting the fish taking baits. Now if only they were bigger fish! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
