Mad Dogs And Aussies Go Out In The Midnight Rain

[humesy]

Howdy again,

Here is my tip on when to catch a jewie. Its not born of years and years of experience but has caught me jewies consistently recently. The lower reaches of middle harbour have fished well 3-5 days after a big flush. No big secrets here I suppose but Friday night saw me heading out in the rain. It was one of those nights that could have gone either way and it seemed to be heading towards a cold, soggy experience. Caught an 80cm, 4-5kg jewie at about 11.00 as reward for fishing a crappy old night. He took a live tailor.

Water was still pretty murky yesterday afternoon and it might be worth a shot tonight methinks if anyone gets the time on a Monday night.

Cheers.

No pics, I am still trying to find my camera after moving house last weekend.

Great you going out there again, Andrew

Tell ya what, Andrew when we go out again, it's my turn, we'll make it my boat and you're right about Middle Harbour and I reckon we should fish the "Castles" at Castlecrag this time.

Cheers mate.

Conditions were as follows:

time: 11.00pm

Tide: 2 hrs before low.

Barometer: 1025

bait: a live tailor

water temp: ? pretty cold i imagine.

Water clarity: murky

depth: 70 feet. Large deep hole

Current: gentle

Weather: Gentle Nth wind, cloudy, rain and drizzle

Dinner that night: cold tuna pasta

Mother's maiden name: Rose.

If there is something else to be gained, I figured that it was better to fish deeper with dirty fresh water on top.

The jewie preferred the tailor over a live yakka and a fresh squid head.

Hope it helps. Cheers

Yep got the message Andrew. That is a pretty good report.

I'll paste your report into my latest topic for when I do a summary of the times, the tides and the conditions .

I think you forgot the name of the old G.P.S. school when you went to log in your password and I don't mind cold just plain and definately not with tuna pasta.!

Regards
