A Few Small Jew

[Jewhunter]

G'day guys & gals. After spending Fri & Sat evening chasing squid for a grand total of 2, I hit the beach on Sun night hunting a jew. There were no Tailor on sundown which left me a bit unhappy as a fresh tailor fillet is one of my preffered big fish baits. Put my first squid strip out 1.5 hrs before the top of the tide & missed a fish. Got a 3 kg schoolie next cast, a 30cm soap that nearly got put out as a live bait, then a 2kg fish on the turn of the tide. Missed 6-7 but it's not easy getting 8 os into soaps!

Bloody beautiful night. No wind, warm & had the beach to myself.

Looking forward to next month. The mullet would have run, the big jew start showing up on the beach & there should be a few tailor around.

Bring it on I say!

Be careful doing that, there's a 45cm limit for jews

I think that comment was a tongue in cheek one

As far as having problems getting 8/0 hooks into small jews I always thought that was the whole reason for using large hooks in most forms of fishing - to reduce small fish hookups & maximise big fish hookups.

Hope a big shiny Jew comes your way soon.

Why would you be grumpy after the weekend ?

Speaking of Grumpy you have opened the door for me to do some blatant advertising which breaks my own site rules Don't try this at home folks or you will get banned

I was joking with the livie comment. I have never & will never do that. The 2 kg fish was also released. The 3kg I kept for tucker. I agree with you that 45cm is too small as a size limit.

I'm also aware of size & bag limits as Jew are my target fish these days.

Cheers,

Grant.

I think it will be wothwhile in a couple of weeks when the mullet have run. Still a bit tough nailing a good fish off the beach @ the moment.

Good luck,

Grant.

G`day Fellas ,

I definately agree about the 8/0`s whilist fishing for Jew .

But I also have to admit I have never had a problem with soaps swallowing an 8/0 either.

And A few Flukes worth a mention here might be , that on numerous occaisions I have hooked some good size whiting on those very same 8/0`s .

And I`m also not the only one to fluke big whiting on 8/0`s either , my Son and others here do it quite often as well .

Hi Ken,

Do the masterbrews come with all the goodies?? The wort concentrate/hops/malt extract/yeast or are they just the wort concentrate?

I am ready to start brewing again this year as the temp is much more manageble now?
