tide'n'knots Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Hi raiders, I fished at wisemans ferry last night with my mate joe and managed a pretty good feed. first fish of the night was a nice 55cm jew, it was caught on a double hook rig with a full squid and the top hook was in its mouth and the second hook in its side It took some getting in and I thought it was a touch larger as it was coming in sideways. I steadily caught fish all night while joe for a change sat there watching me and catching zilch!!( Payback is a bitch!). we left at around midnight and the final tally was 3jew, 2 flathead and a bream to me, 2 flathead to joe. Joe did manage a flattie around 60cm so he was happy! The jew werent huge but it should only get better between now and the end of may. All up we probably threw back about a dozen undersized fish. Pete. Edited March 19, 2009 by Hodgey
kiro Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 nice catch there brother... gotta be happy with that..! I love payback!! (only when im dishing it out though...)well done..!
Bolts Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Nice session mate! Ya gotta be happy with that. Were you guys landbased or in a boat? Looks like a fish was laid out on a wharf? Was it right on High tide when you were catching the jews? Nice feed there, enjoy
Hodgey Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Very very nice Pete! Some great fish from a busy little session. Back to the top of your game Cheers Hodgey

Was it right on High tide when you were catching the jews? Nice feed there, enjoy we fish from a boat the timber you can see is plywood floor. we arrived right on high and fished the run out. We have caught them at all stages of the tide at this particular spot so no particular time is better than the other. Night seems to fish better than day however last season my 3 biggest were caught in broad daylight - go figure???? Pete. A nice spread of fish Pete, a great variety of top table fish. Good onya well caught.. Cheers.. Thanks for the info you sent me on slimey fillets ray, hopefully I can convert it into a nice jew or 2 Pete.
tide'n'knots Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Good one Pete!! Got your Jewie Mojo back! :) Roberta Hi roberta, I was only saying to Joe last night that in years gone by before we started fishing our spot at wisemans, we would have been over the moon to catch 3 nice jew that size - these days we sort of take it for granted at this time of year. Just need a couple of bigger ones now - I think I am getting spoiled! Pete.
glennmreid Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Great stuff Pete. Good to see the jewies back at Wisemans.
5ky Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 nice catch, which part of wiseman ferry did u guys fish around? any recommendations for landbase in wisemen ferrys?
Jewhunter Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Nice feed & a top session Pete. Great to see the size of the Jew increasing there. Should be an interesting Autumn & Winter. Well done mate. Cheers, Grant.
jewgaffer Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Nice feed & a top session Pete. Great to see the size of the Jew increasing there. Should be an interesting Autumn & Winter. Well done mate. Cheers, Grant. Well said Grant and good work Pete. Here's some more good news this time it's good nerws for the Georges river fishermen. I'm just about to post a quick report on the Georges school size jew situation confirmed in a report following on behalf of my friend George/ Cungee George who sent me a pic this morning of another genuine school size jew at just over 8 kilos which he caught around Lugarno last night and others around that size were caught by one of our members jewfish king at Como on two simliar nights but were said to be caught during the early run out tide....George said his jewfish was another top of the tide fish coming in over Botany obviously with others and it's interesting that the ones George caught and showing in my report for his session on the Sunday week were typical of early incoming tide upriver fish and he caught the school size 85cm jew among the 60cm size upriver fish also during the run in tide. George only caught the fish in the photo last night on live yekkowtail and nothing on any of his dead baits Whilst not getting much back from the Hawkesbury or under selling the Hacking it looks as though the Georges is fairing better for breeding size fish than the other rivers at the moment Cheers jewgaffer
marcel haber Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Top effort Pete, Hey leave some for the rest of us. Did you back up for work in the morning ? top catch once again...................c........u..........soonda. Twin 1 more more more

I think at this stage the georges is firing a bit better however I am very confident that it wont be the case in about 1 month from now! Time will tell. pete. Nice feed & a top session Pete. Great to see the size of the Jew increasing there. Should be an interesting Autumn & Winter. Well done mate. Cheers, Grant. Hi grant, there were soooo many in the river around october november that were just a smidge under size, I am hoping that the same jew will have grown and we will get a big run of 50 - 70 cm jew now. If last night was anything to go by, this could be the begining. I just hope there are a few bigguns in amongst them too. Pete. Top effort Pete, Hey leave some for the rest of us. Did you back up for work in the morning ? top catch once again...................c........u..........soonda. Twin 1 more more more Hi marcel, I didnt have to work until 7pm fri night so it was all good! Did you get my PM??? Pete.
jenno64 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Top session and that must keep the and family fed for a while too.
tide'n'knots Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 nice catch, which part of wiseman ferry did u guys fish around? any recommendations for landbase in wisemen ferrys? hi mate, there are a lot of good rocks to fish from all along the river. Many years ago I caught a heap of soapies from the public wharf right in wisemans just before the ferry, so that could be worth a go. you may even get small tailor hanging around the light and a fresh fillet will nail a jew if they are around. good luck. Pete.
