jewytim Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Am new to this so bare with me. Well a fortnight ago we had a fantastic night off lion island landing two jewies 15kg and 10 kg. My mate neil known as narl could not win a trick losing two big ones too whilst i then went on to get a big flattie and two big bream, he then finally got one a pike eel hehe. The funny thing was i said cut the line he did this the eel fell in the boat and the sinker in the water. I then caught a couple of school sharks, we had numerous big hits followed by long runs cut hansds from the big hand lines , 3 of which ended up out of action due to eagle nests. Anyway we went out again last friday at 6pm in seek of the jewies again, last 5 trips we have scored 6 not bad i suppose but different locations prior to this. large schools of slimies and choppere so we decided to get some of these for bait after about 30 min we had a good amount of livies. So we stuck the big lines out. Followed by a big hit twenty minutes later and a school shark , for the next 4 hours we landed another 3, no sign of the jewies i looked at the trawler in the distance and you know what was going through my head., oh nearly forgot a friend of mine came out with me in his boat and at about 7pm i heard some yelling from his boat looked over and he is saying gaff gadff tio his son followed by shit. Then hes lifting a flathead out of the water (hes using a handline) and he says look at that i said thats huge and then it fell off, i wonnt repeat what he said then. I know i shopuldnt have laughed but it was quite funny. Well till my next trip hopefully tomorrow bye for now and im sure ill have some more tails to tell.

Martin Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Thats a nice jewfish. Are you fishing the western end of Lion Island where there is, I guess best description is a channel. Any other areas you favour beside Juno, Flint and Steel or the rail bridge, if you car to share. As you may find out, Jewfish are a bit of an obsession for those of us who are yet to get a decent one. Enjoyed your report and look foreword to another one. Good luck tomorrow Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ankles Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 hi there and there jewytim. mite catch out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewytim Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Martin, no you have pretty much got the spots i guess the thing is i have noticed is patience as som nights i might not get one till 3am etc and to always fish 1 metre off the bottom slowly jigging bait up and down half pillie they seem to hit as you lower the rod down. This is sometimes difficult to do when youre tired you just want to put the rod down but if you perservere with this method you will get fish when youre partner doesnt, i dont know how many friends i have told this too when they are with me, they tend not to do this and then they wonder why i am getting them. Anyway i hope this is some new knowledge for you all, just something i have experimented with and found succesful. Ankles might see you out there!! im in quintrex 4.5m !!! Only 8 hours to go cant wait and i here they are around !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
