Jewhunter Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Wow! Gee I'm looking forward to fishing the river this summer! I've got the tinny set up & ready to go. Jacks will be the main target. I've gathered some knowledge from a few locals up here. They're some big Jacks Jay is holding. The Tweed river is famous for holding some of the biggest, meanest Jacks anywhere in NSW. That GT is awesome! Kingscliff is only 10 mins from me so I'll drop Jay a p.m & try to hook up for a fish with him. I can't wait to swap Jewie piccies & stories with him! Hopefully we can give the local population up here a bit of a touch up. Cheers, Grant.
Chris 55 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Have to agree with Grant They are a nice pair of Jacks and the other fish are all top shelf items Good to see the is so good for you guy's up north Anybody consider a Tweed Social at Grant's ..... nice back yard mate Chris

I awoke this morning and there was a pop up on my computer and it was this post. Strike me lucky the size of this GT trevally almost knocked me and my uncle toby's for a six . Just take another look at this big animal and imagine it just fossicking along quitely sharing the pickings with the little tail wagging blackfish just in by the rocks of such a peaceful unobtrusive little river like the Tweed. But I tell you what when jakjayno1 tricked this neanderthal monster on that Gold Bomber lure, I reckon all hell broke loose. Strike me lucky Jay you sure had awoken a sleeping giant. The Tweed river would have erupted in an enormous implosion and would have almost turned itself inside out. The peaceful little green grass munchers would have almost died of fright. The rays would have gone running for cover and even the jew fled in panic as the whole darn Tweed River burst its banks. Jay Cottrell my good friend that sure is one helluva mighty fish to pull out from a little spot in a little old river mate. Best regards jewgaffer Cheers Jay, and Shirl and I and little Byron will grab Jimmy on our way thru Ballina and see you soon now it looks and when we go for a hit or two with Jewhunter Grant mate I really do reckon we'll sure make a mighty big hole in the jew! B. Edited August 22, 2007 by jewgaffer
Jewhunter Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Jay described that fight in detail to me & it sure did sound like all hell broke loose! I reckon I saw the bow waves 30km's up river at my place! I'm looking forward to having a fish with you lot when you're up this way mate. Mmmm, Jew steaks on the bbq sounds good. Cheers, Grant.
mark84 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 they are some quality fish have a go at the size of that gt cobes an jacks also beuties
