miller Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Hi all Left home at 7.30 saturday night picked TJ up and we set off The plan was to catch bait all night and chase some jews in the morning Got to spot X for squid and yakkas (the spit) and in 4 hours only managed 4 squid and 3 yakas with the cold getting to us we decided to set up camp it was nice and warm in the sleeping bags We woke to a cold morning at 7 am Tried about a dozen spots for yakas but only managed a million pinkies So bugger this well give it a shot and see how we go Got to spot J (for jew fish)Sydney Harbour Bridge and first drift two yakas go down and nothing and then the second drift 0 on the way back for the third noticed a branch in the water didnt think much of it till we got close and about a foot under the water attached to the branch was the rest of the tree So steered around it and started the third drift about 2min later i just get wieght on the end of my rod and then TJ we look at each other and say tree then my rod comes alive with a good run and so does TJ double hook up Tjs first to the boat with a nice 74 cm jew landed Then i give mine some curry and with a nice gaff shot from the TJ in comes mine 95cm jew so with high fives and yahooing we had done what we set out to do we tried a couple more drifts for nothing so decided to head for home cheers miller Edited July 1, 2007 by coollamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luringbream Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Awesome stuff mate! Well done! Is there a big hole there where you took them, or does that area in general usually produce jewies? In how many metres of water were you fishing? DAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 thanks to all for the congrats to answer some questions there are some big holes around the bridge and we just drift over them letting more line out as it drops off the rigs i use are the same as the kingy rigs sliding snell with a treble on the bottom and a big sinker and a trace about 1.5m in lenght put the toe hook throw the nose and sink one of the trebles in the tail leaving the other two sticking out and when u fell them hit just give it to them dont give them any room to run or they will drop the bait cheers miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbielites Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Top day mate well done Also any one planning a jewiethon under the bridge in the future should be aware that as of August one it will be illegal to drift or anchor between Blues Point and the Opera house...
