bergo Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 gday raiders headed out around saturday lunch time for an arvo fish. Left around 1130 as i had to work saturday morning. Anyway the weather was trashed lil bergo and i decided lets go try lion island we headed out and my poor little 399 proline was getting smashed. We stayed out there for around 4 hours with getting a just legal bream a just legal flatty and a few small tailor. Around 330 decided to head back in. We anchor up at our second spot and start a nice solid burley trail. Started catching little tailor once again although persisted through them till just after dark and hook onto a feisty 60cm tailor. We then pulled in a nice 30cm flounder which was kept then a just on legal flatty which was released. Considering going home then my line gets thumped. After abit of a fight up comes my maiden jew which only measured 38cm only a soapie but its always good to get off the mark. Only fish kept were the big tailor and flounder.

zen801 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Bergo, Mate the first jewie is always the hardest. It seems to happen after that and you learn more and get more motivated to target them. They are a deadset beautiful looking fish. When you get a bigger one the addiction begins. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labrat Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 ........I caught my first jewie on a soft plastic on Sunday (2" berkley shrimp in neutral colour) it was 65 cms and I was stoked and I caught it at Putney on the Parra river in my tinnie ..Well done on your capture I think it can become a addiction ....Bob ...

jewgaffer Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Bergo, I forgot to mention, in case that big jew doesn't comes along as expected, you'll have to move around a bit otherwise they're likely to find you upright in your chair with hardly a pulse and icicles growing off your beard.

rickb Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well done bergo, even the soapies look a great fish. I can still remember way back when my first came along. Mate they get bigger from now. Nothing smells sweeter than a big Jewie in the boat, they have a smell all of their own. cheers Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
