Juzza Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I went to pittwater and broken bay last week for a fish with my family. Wanted to catch some live bait and ended up with a plague of LJ eating my hooks. Using yellowtail caught from last trip we absolutely smashed them catching 60 in about 1 hour (our bag limit). They were so active that i tied a frozen yellowtail and threw it out into the water, the fish was demolished. There were so many there that i even netted about 8 of them in one go. Eventually they got a bit smarter and stayed down low. They were let back into the ocean =D We moved somewhere which was calmer, which i think was juno point??? You could see a deep water marker in the distance and the opening of the bay shown in the pictures. Overall it wasnt an all too productive day, with catfish, pike eels, PJ sharks. But it was a great day, and one of the warmer days we've had in the past weeks. Cheers, Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james7 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Great photos Justin! More importantly, congratulations on helping reduce the leatherjacket numbers!!!! If every Raider did the same ... there would probably still be a couple of billion of the little buggers out there! Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewgaffer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi Juzza take a look at this wire leather jacket rig... One of our members posted the sketch in a reply post having apparently got hold of it it from someone in an amateur fishing club. The same rig would make a good general paternosta rig using mono leader.... you could add another three standout lines to make 6 stand outs all together and then link the end of every second stand out to the one above it, having work out the length and the spacings....I reckon this would give you a tangle free triangle shaped 3 hook standout drop shot paternosta rig..... you could also use a running sinker or a running snapper sinker off the braid above the first swivel, and you could also make your own 3 hook bait jigs the same way Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
