Salmon As Jew Bait

[chocofallon]

Hi All,

Just a quick one. Have gone out searching for Jewies of late and as squid has been very hard to come by I set the plan to get fresh tailor and send them out. Problem is havn't had any luck with the tailor but on both occaisions have landed a couple of big Aussie salmon well 4kg + models anyway. They look like they would be OK to send out a slab but I've been told by a few people to not bother using them as Jew bait.

Any thoughts, or experience getting jews on Aussie Salmon?

Cheers,

Joe

Mate it cant hurt to try if you're normal methods are working then you're gonna have to try something different.

Hi,

I caught an 8kg 95cm jewie on a high tide around 8pm at Long Reef on a salmon slab/strip.

I caught the salmon a week before in the harbour and salted the slabs.

So yes it is possible to get jews on salted salmon - go figure.

Here is a pic!!!!! Caught him about 2 years ago.

Thanks for that guys all I need to know. The first one I got I sent a slab out but no hits but next time if its my only option if squid and tailor aren't available atleast its fresh I'll send him out.

Cheers again,

Joe
