Tangles Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Headed out this morning in search of some jew action. Evrything seamed perfect, tides, no wind, overcast. fished about an hour & half of the run in & about the same of the run out with fresh squid caught the day before. For a while it was very slow going, pretty much until about half an hour from the top of the tide. Then one of my rods starts screaming, i hook up solid. was hoping for a decent jew, but the run just didnt feel like one. while im fighting this fish, my other rod goes off like a steam train. Try to hook up on that too but missed him. eventually got the first rod in & a nice 80cm king surfaced. Got baits back in the water & not long after my rod takes off again, this one felt like a jew. got it to the surface to find a nice jew over 1 meter. Knew i couldnt net it so go for the gaff, just about to gaff it & it takes off again, but this time there was no stopping it. BANG! come up with nothing The kings were on fire, big bust ups on the surface & were smashing my squid baits. Missed a few but ended up with 4. Smallest was just legal at 68cm, one was 70cm & two were 80cm. Then the kings went quite as the tide started to pick up pace on the run out. Thought id give it a little longer & ended up landing a school jew measuring 60cm. Although it rained nearly the whole time, i had an awesome day & ended up with a great feed just in time for easter. Sorry i dont have any pics at the moment. Will get them up asap. Cheers Tangles. Edited March 31, 2010 by Tangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
