Outstanding fish. Well done.

Just goes to show, you don't have to have a boat to catch decent fish.

Congrats

Smoking Jew mate. I have been hitting the beach regularly with livies without success.

I might have to change tactics and come back inside to 'pop' my jewfish 'cherry'.

how do you guys do this. i meant having a big catch like a massive jewfish.

i've started fishing for a month now. but still no catch, only little fishies.

lane cove river? i've been there a couple of times, no luck. fished at linley point but only small puffer fish.

really get motivated about fishing after reading your posts, but different story when your out there with a rod when there is no bites at all.

could you tell me where the this lane cove wharf is, so maybe i can try my luck.

thanks.

Hey mate - try using whole squid caught locally. I have met a lot of people in my ventures fishing with me. I have seen people throw out live fish, octupus, fish market squid and pilchards. I have only seen 1 guy catch a fish on a pilchard 5 years ago. I keep using whole freshly caught local squid. Jew cannot resist. This is my prefered bait in the night. During the day I prefer using live tailor, yellowtail or hearing. The fish still feed in the day. Butterflying these fish is also a great bait.

I do not mind fishing from any warf or headland. It is all about timing - jew are like clockwork - they will feed at a certain time, as that is when they will come out of there hidy holes and wander around warfs to feed. I limit my fishing to 2 hours.

Someone wrote something about 80 pound line. You do not need to go that heavy for jew. 20 pound main line plus 50 pound fluoro trace is fine. Jew are very easy to stop. I have never had a jew on for more that 5 minutes and have caught them over the 20kg mark on occasions.

Location - cannot reveal - no offence to all but i have had nights where I have driven around for 2 hours only to find that I cannot fish anywhere as every spot I fish is packed with people. I do not own the spots, but I cannot stand too much noise and swearing and people casting over me, which I have experienced fishing in a packed spot. I fish to relax not to be anxious cause people get in my way. Fish are just a bonus. Not accusing anyone on fishraider for being like that also.

Plus both nights I fished I found rubbish left behind at all spots. I was sickened by people's laziness to p/up there own trash. Could just imagine what these peoples homes look like.

Regards Jim

Was good meeting you also - good to have company - I have plenty of spare parts for reels if you need a spare handle. I was gonna suggest last night for you to give me your reel - I can fix then post out to you.

Like I said last night - fresh squid = jew (100%) - just have to fight of the pickers on ocassions.

Hi All,

Started on Thursday morning at 3AM. Hit Gladesville area landbased and scored about 8 jew. All ranging around the 2kg mark. Action did not stop in 2 hours of fishing. Released a few and kept a few.

Next morning started at 3Am again. Hit another spot in Gladesville. Spent 30 minutes there and did not get any runs. So I thought I would move on o the Lane Cove river. Last weekend I scored a 4kg fish in there so I thought the fish should be large.

Got to Lane Cove just before 5AM. Through out 2 squid strips and a whole squid. Whilst I was half asleep walking around the warf, my FSU5120C loaded with a Stradic 8000 buckles and starts screaming. I ran over grabbed the rod and tussled for about 2 minutes. The fish went from side to side trying to find a snag to get me on. Finally got him close to the wark and it surfaced. F%^$* I knew this would be my PB landbased on a warf. Took my time as the fish was still GREEN and had the pilons in its site. First chance for a gaf shot and I screwed up - I did not lock the gaff and it popped out. Anyway whilst holding the fish I locked the gaff and set it into the fish. Brought the fish up and was VERY happy. My prior landbased river PB was 12kg and this fish was bigger. Took it home and it reached 15kg.

Last night went to Lane cove again. Got another 4kg fish and dropped another. The jewies are on the chew guys. Just get ready for plenty of small fish between the bigger ones! Good luck.

Fantastic Jewey.

I live in Putney and was wondering if you could PM me that wharf, trying to figure out which one I'm thinking of.

Cheers

Jim

wow jim, you gave me so much useful information on fishing.

JIM you are my FishRaider IDOL

So jewfishs cant resist the taste of live bait. I doubt i'l be able to catch some live squid. Might have to go to a live fish bait shop for some fresh squids. That will do the trick i hope. I've had servo prawns, peeled the prawns and had much luck catching flatheads, breams, silvertails and hearings. Do you keep them alive as bait or just fresh as u can?

Well planning to go catch some jew fish this sunday since its the new moon. Tide readings show high tide at 9pm with 1.8m water level. High tides levels, fishing with fresh bait and new moon forecast, this would be a great fishing element right?

Your fishing location cannot be reveal? of cause of cause. We all hate to fish where there is a lot of people, lines get tangled up, and people just scaring the fish away. Everybody likes to have their own sacred fishing spot.

Your discretion in not revealing the location of your fishing hole has made me more determined in catching a big fish now. Cant contain my excitement in going fishing this sunday night. Just hope it doesn't rain.

thanks for your advice, if i catch anything i'l let you know. I'l make a post about my glorious catch.

i've even got a title for it.. " 1 Man, 1 Rod, and 1 JEWFISH"

cant wait can wait.. getting so desperate for that jewfish i just might have to google earth your secret location now =)

Peace and no harm intended.
