Jew Two

[blower]

Hello All,

well after bagging my first Jew not long ago it was time to make

some effort to understand how things have started to come together.

A bit of reading some old articles and checking the tides and the

like and it was time to have another go.

Same again, recently caught squid on a two hook rig and landbased

at a good spot. Only difference this time was the opposite tide and

in broad daylight to offset when I can fish with the missus/kids

not home.

Within five minutes a pretty solid hit but no hookup. Last bait

prepped and out for no longer than ten for a good hit and come up

tight. Now this spot is pretty hectic as last reported with many

possible snags so the drag is up and am into him. He nearly had me

around a pylon but soon enough have him up and in safe hands.

My second Jew ever and it went 3kg and 70cm, a bit smaller than the

first in weight being not as plump - but very happy none the less.

I have managed to strike up a good deal with one of the neighbours

I regularly sling fish to - she cleans and fillets while I wash my

gear. Everyone is happy, she is Greek so no waste with fillets for

all and a fish head soup later in the week.

Cheers Brewboy

Thanks for the kind remarks. The cleaning bit is the real stroke of luck,

the rest has been great input from mates and members on here. The Stella

is a 5000SW and the rod a Daiwa Seajigger - the medium one. This recently

purchased outfit is running at 2 for 2, touch wood, being both the Jews

reported of late.

Hey Blower

Your killing me. Especially letting me know about such captures while I'm stuck at work.

Well done on sussing things out at that spot and giving it a shot at a time when many wouldn't bother.

And congrats on the 100% success rate

Hey Ant, I couldn't let an opportunity go begging and it really was to see

if the calls on broad daylight fishing times would pay off. Thanks again for

the tips - loose lips sink ships eh. Gonna have to upsize the baits and

leader I reckon, never know what is lurking around out there.

good stuff mate good jewie pretty excessive gear for jew though isn't it?Great rod though

Wait till you catch your meter plus one you will never fish for much else after that

[mikeh191]

Mate you done it again, well done time for round 3 or should I say jew three.

Cheers Mike

[johnny doi]

well done mate,beaut looking jew & great pics.love the outfit,wish i could afford that type of gear.haha.congrats.

cheers johnny.

Thanks Mike, already checking the charts and work schedule.

Yeah have downgraded the quantity of gear lately to upgrade

the quality. Prefer to fish smaller/lighter outfits with

reliability and power for good sportfishing. Am finding the

overall value of a limited number of outfits makes not only

money sense but the wider range of fishing capability makes

for less maintenance and easy decisions on what gear to use

for many outings.

As most regulars have mentioned here, wait and save a little

more for your gear and in the long run it will reward you in many

ways. Metre plus Kings, YFT and Marlin have been my rewards

on good gear that I look after and enjoy fishing with regularly.

Someday a good Jew might come along...

[TheAlby]

nice lookin fish there ...were you using squid strips?

[prawn*]

well done mate good to see some jew action in burra's sounds like u found a nice drop off landbased now all you need is some red danger tape and tape that area off before it gets overfished!! ahahah

[blower]

Alby, thanks mate - whole hand sized squid with the skin stripped and mantle tipped.

No need for police tape at private jetties mc fishn, shutting the front gate and a

bit of respect for the opportunity goes a long way with my mates old man at his place.

Still gotta be a bit cagey on details as anyone has access from the water eh.

Don't know what tape could do at your spot to keep it from being overfished for you

and your mates in the future. Never knew it to be considered a productive area - will

have to give it a go. Thanks for the heads up.
