pekingduck Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Posting this on behalf of my brother, who on Saturday got his first Jewie. We’ve been getting some good salmon and tailor from this gutter over the last few weeks, but this was a top effort for someone who had never fished off the beach until 2 weeks ago. After a couple of runs he calls for a stingray, but after he got it past the break and it turned on its side they were all cheering…..UNTIL..his line snaps a few metres away and the fish is flapping in the whitewash. So….he does what any respectable fisho would do..he dives on it and tackles it , gets dumped by a few waves and manages to drag it out. Didn’t measure or weigh it, but I’d call it around 10kg ??

Mondo Rock Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 That IS a great jewie for someone who's only been fishing off the beaches for two weeks. Any details? Bait used, tide time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen801 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Well done on the jewie. Gotta like a jewie wrangler. I reckon its over ten kgs more like 12kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to make a mockery of Jewie fishing...but he got it 7pm...think that was about an hour after the low on a pilchard on ganged hooks.

Yeah so do I, but then it would be bigger than my biggest Jewie, so I'll just say 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nice looking fish, gotta love em! Well done to the bro mate. Dusk & just after is a top time to nail a Jew from the beach. Should be plenty of more over the next couple of months. I'll say 9kg. Beautiful fish no matter what it weighed. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
