gmonaco Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Jewtastic day on the Hawkesbury river, G Unit and Squidboy Finally team up in the Hawkesbury to finally crack jewies one after another. It was Sunday 20/6/10 and with not much sleep from the night before we set off at 10 am. We simply were cruising the river and finally decided to stop and drop Anker. The tide was coming up and we just managed to let out the two baitrunner with 2 fresh strips of squid, when one of them decided to start to scream away after not even minutes. Squidboy stop and set the hook and the fight was on with those strong head shakes we just know that it was a jewie. I finally got 2 cracks at netting the thing which ended up being an 82cm 3.2kg jewie We basically just kept baiting up and burling up hard while I had a go at SP, which paid off with a 58cm jewie and a smile on my face, but once again nothing beats fresh squid. We ended up catching 5 jewies and called it a day after just less than two hours ranging from 58cm to 82cm. It was nice to finally see the Hawkesbury River finally living up to its reputation after all these years of attempting to target jewies in the river.

james7 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Congratulations G Unit and Squidboy on cracking the "Hawkesbury Jewie Code"! Five jewies in two hours is a fantastic result. Cheers Peter Edited June 24, 2010 by peterS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonaco Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Peter, I just could not believe it was happening. It was just so much fun. I normally go Sydney harbour and get them easily but the Hawkesbury has always been a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmonaco Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Just make sure they don't go pink on ya. I put them in those resealable bags and then wrap them with old newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmonaco Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks all, TC we just realised it off the back of the boat that’s all. I'm not too familiar with the river, it was a bit up from the mooney mooney bridge. I got one, once under the bridge but it didn't last long at all...
