winfield Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) finally got what i was looking for, after 4 years of fishing and many cold nights alone on jetties and rocks and untold dvds on how to catch em.I bagged this mutha of a jewie,I spent 30 mins trying to swim my jewie in waist deep water but the poor bugga wouldnt right himself, which was a shame after targeting them for so long ,I've gained much respect for the elusive mulloway.Is there a site where it tells you how long the fish can stay out of water and how to swim them....Thanks jew gaffa,jew hunter,kenn-g and the fishraiders site for all your help and info. This was not just my jewie but a combined effort, that once all information was gathered and applyed correctley paid dividends.

winfield Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 nice work mate what depth of water did you catch him in from memory jews pulled up from over 10mtrs of water have a pretty low release rate your right, it was smack bang in the middle of the shipping channel, and the current was heaps strong too. And this is the second time this has happend. Same spot, and i wonder if its happend to someone else? but i've cast my line out had it set for about 15mins and my friends cast out, and as soon as the sinkers hit the top of the water my drags started running.Now this happend to us last week but he caught the jew and this week was my turn,my theory (now i'm a freaking expert after one jew) is that the jew had it in his mouth my mates sinker scared him in to hooking himself. What say you my fellow fish raiders????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine_Head Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Well done Mate. The elusive Jew as they call it and I am sure we all know why it's call that. Haven't caught one in Sydney but have bagged a few out of Newcastle harbour. Biggest bein 113cm. Planning a all nighter up there in a few weeks if anyone is interested. Happy to share my tips and spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
