jonno86 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Hello fellow Raiders, I was out @ Windang beach and got there around 10ish when it was high tide. No luck with the tailor as they play mind games eating the pilchard. About 2hours into the fishing i struck someone solid on the line which has no reaction on the line as i though i caught a massive seawood or something and it took 5-10mins for me to reel it in as i struggle towards the end as I saw something silver on the sand coming in and and ran over quickly and caught this massive fish. First time i caught something massive for beach fishing. No idea what it was.. could it be a jewfish? What a day for the start of 2009 =] Regards, John.

Bloody well done mate. If you don't mind saying, where on windang beach were you fishing, down near the breakwalls or north of the surf club, and what bait did you get him on? I'm a local in Windang and never caught a jew off the beach or anywhere else for that matter. Again, well done mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wammo Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Absolute cracker. Love this story. As many have said many fishermen have a lifetime dream of catching jewfish.... Odd fighting tactics. Usually a jew that size would put a bit more fight!! Enjoy eating the seaweed!! Congrats Wammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g.t. Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Well done you lucky bastard!!! That's a trophy fish for most people you've got there!

industrial Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 for people who wants to catch that fish, they don't catch that easily for people who doesn't even know the name of the fish, they catch it with ease maybe i shouldn't target particular species anymore great jewie there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
