mr twister Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Tried for a jew on friday night around the bridges in the georges. A fairly eventless night. Managed to anchor in a nice eddy around tom uglys but no action. Gave up after a few hours due to no cabin lights (running and anchor lights were working fine) and due to the crappy wind and current fighting eachother, leading to the boat sitting really weird. Would also like to inform you all on how i am to see the number of idiots on the water. At the time I was around the tom ugly's about 20 boats passed us all going 20+ knots. there were only 2 boats that did go 10- knots (a tinnie that could go no faster than 5 and a 38 footer which had no-one at the wheel and all at the back stuffing their faces and going through a wine cellar worth of piss) and if they had the chance would be going just as fast as the other nobs. One boat had a kegger on it and about 6 guys about my age or younger had decided to take daddys boat out for a ride. not only were these guys breaking the no wash zone but they were under age drinkers, already pissed, drink driving and probably had no licenses, as well as coming well within 30 meters of my vessel. Now what really anoys me is that this happened across from the water police station and the boat came from the mariners around the station. Jesus Tap dancing Christ! They also managed to throw a jug of beer at me, which fell short, as well as the guy that throw it almost going over. If these guys did have their lisences then how the hell did they get them? On a lighter note, when got back to my pier, the lights on the end(so i knew where home was) attracted quite a few squid and were able to bag a few bite size inkys, hopefully they will get converted into a nice knobby or jew. Will try again probably next week and will hopefully find some time to contact jewgaffer, who graciously sent me his number and im sure is a wealth of information. Due to a change of scencery, i am willing to trade some gps spots for snapper off botany heads, have had extensive time off long reef and sydney heads and am willing to trade some northern spots for southern. Sorry for the long post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numbnuts Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I know what you mean, with these yobbos hooning around , all we need next is the f**kin wankers in the 18ft skiffs to start the're antics on the harbour and we'll know for sure that summer is just around the corner. Time to stock up on missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I reckon I would be fishing for jew off your pier if the lights are attracting bite size squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 G'day mr twister, Hope you have a better time on the water next time on all fronts. Unfortunately there are people in every sport who like to make everyone else miserable. Boating is no exception. Karma will get them all in the end Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Unbelievable We have had several boating mishaps that have made news headlines this year, and yet people are still getting hammered onboard and jeopardising innocent people. If you found those squid in good numbers there, it's a good bet the jewies know they can find'em there too! Good luck on your next outing, mate. Hope it is more productive and less eventful. Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr twister Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hope so. May give the pier a try, there is structure and a food source there and was thinking there maybe a few witing and bream there on a high tide at night but now that you mention it, may have a bigger bait out for a jew, would certainly be easier and more comfortable to sit off the pier. Just wondering, do kings get this far upstream (baldface area)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
