Hi guy's

im new to the site.

Been dying to get out for a while but weather and work was not on my side.

till i got fed up and made my way to my squoding spot sunday afternoon. thank god there

was a break in the weather for couple of hours, during that time i caught 4 green eye's about 6-700grams within the hour

and headed to newport beach. as i got there the rain started but it didnt stop me rigged up two rods and started casting.

it was about 9.30 rain continuosly comming down.would of been 10pm got my first jew 7.6kg thank god i was rapped its been a while

by 11.30 i was on my last bait till i heard my shimano calcutta 700 screaming on free spool.locked up my drag and did what i do best "STRIKE"

14kg flapping away in front of me after a good 10 min of tug a war.packed up my gear and off i went bak home shorly thinking how te hell am

i gona sleep to get up for work on monday.

Top effort; 2 in a night. I fished Sunday in the rain a few beaches south of you and had a busy session on the tailor and salmon. The kept me running between my 3 rods. I was disappointed not to have a jewie turn up to share the action.

What structure do you look for when targeting jew off the beach? do you have to cast very far? ive only ever caught whiting and bream off the beach using worms.

were you catch bream is were u catch jews off the beach. your doing the right thing in regards structure on beach when it comes to fishing

for jews just start using bigger baits. TIGHT LINES

IT GETS LIKE THAT ALOT. if not sambo's or tailor i have troubles with bronze whaler shaks.

some fights are upto 20min of pain one after the other. i used to use for rods and take upto 3 kg of squid with me.

now im down to my 2 favourate rods.

try casting right on the edges of the gutter your fishing in..

thats a top result off the sand mate.2 jew of the sand in a session is excellent.sounds as though your a keen surf fisho.iv been wanting to fish for jews on the beach for a while now,but havnt in over a yr now.iv only ever landed 1 jew in the suds which is my pb jew to date.113cms,bout 12kgs at cronulla during winter at night about 3years ago.was fishing for tailor,got a few & put 1 out live.10mins later im hooked up.10-15min fight & the first sight of that slab of silver in the wash was just the best.i can picture it in my head now,seeing it in the light of my headtorch sure warmed the blood cos it was a freezing cold winters night.theyr soooo silver off the beach & theyr my favourite fish in the world.i just love my jewfish/mulloway.

couple questions mate.other than squid,what other baits do you prefer to use for them off the beach?cos thats the only jew iv caught on the beach & i got it on live tailor[30-32cms],other times iv tried squid,mullet,yakkas,salmon & tailor slabs & heads but havnt caught anymore.maybe it was a fluke?but iv certainly put in the hrs.

& what rig do you use & what pound line/leader do you use?braid or mono?hook size?

1 i caught was on 30lb mono & 40lb leader,2 snelled 5/0s.back then i only used mono,but now i use 20-30lb braid & 30-40lb flouro leader.any tips will be much appreciated.

cheers johnny. :beersmile: :thumbup:P.S,what area u from?

Yo Buddy!

Good on you for tying the knot. I did the same last year and can't speak highly enough of it. I hope your mrs. lets you get out for a fish though (like mine) and she understands that it is good for our souls to be out on the water and bringing home the seafood. Let's get out there champ. Will send you a PM

Nice effort on the beach jew stryker :thumbup: Jewfish and especially squid seem to thrive on the lousiest of fishing conditions and moreso during the most miserable of southerlies... The pecking order is generally nothing and then more of the same, then the jewfish come in and in turn are usually followed by the toothy scavengers such as the whalers and the hammerheads and particularly in the worst possible conditions.

Well done stryker and I hope get to team up with Humesy on the northern beaches as you would not meet a more inteligent fishermen so keen on understanding the habits of jewfish than Andrew, that's for sure....

Cheers

:1prop:

You look like you're 3 feet tall and have massive clown feet shaped like sharks!!!

You are one of few people I know who can make decent regular catches from the surf, nice one. See you out on the sand sometime.
