nitefr8 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Hi Guys Was down the Georges today with my mate norm at one of the places we usaually haunt at this time of year , chasing the blackfish which is about all we do at this time of year and between us we got about 16 all taken on weed sourced from spot -------- , we were getting harrassed by a mile of fish in the 20 to 24 varitey but we sytill managed a few up to 30 with one exception , now ive seen some odd things that have had ago at eating a blackie but whatever had a go at this one must have been hungry and judging by the healing process this only happened in the last few weeks, by the way the fish still went 1.2 kg not a bad fish for the river . oops not quite the hang of this yet Edited June 6, 2007 by johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunOFun Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Not that i know anything about catching jews, but have heard that black fish make good bait for jews. Whats the chance it was sent out as a live bait and had its tail trimmed to slow it down?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the definition of 'the one that got away' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi waynie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Possibly sombody was marking thier fish before it went in the fish bin and droped it. Take a close look at the cut it's round, another fish could'nt do that, and no evidence of live bait hook. And who uses 35cm +blackies for livies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Nice livie! Might be worth taking a heavy rod with you next time & putting a big luderick out live. Jews do like blackfish! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger_shark Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'm sure ive seen a raider cut off all the tails of his fish so it would fit on the plate... Maybe this one got away from him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Have seen this before.Will not hinder too much. These little buggers have a lot of guts and power. That is why we fish for them. Great SPORT. CHEERS BART. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpig Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Guys Not related to the no tail but if you get a blackfish and keep it alive in a white tube it will turn very silver in colour. Put a hook through him for live bait in the night time and watch him shine in the water. Jew like them a lot. Cheers Kingpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschanel Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Just wondering how far down the georges river you guys go? I live at Illawong is it that far down or close to the BB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I bet he would have put up a better fight if he had a tail!!! Incredible - can't believe it! Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
