kadavu Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Our family went out on the long weekend to Port Stephens to go night and day fishing. We went out on the first night and only caught a small Jewfish and got busted off by a bigger fish.The next day we went out on our 2nd session and hooked up to some nice fish.The biggest going 10.1kgs followed by some smaller fish weighing 7.1, 5.2 and 4 kgs all on 3kg line. We went out on our last day with bad weather and the occasional shower but managed to get another jewie weighing 3.1kg. Had an excellent weekend and fresh bait helped heaps.

wahoo76 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Good news mate. I have a place up in Hawks Nest and get up there every couple of months. Where is a good spot for live bait. Squid & yakkas if you dont mind letting me know? Also any clues on where go get the jewies?. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kadavu Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 we used fresh, local squid and used strip baits most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadavu Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 we caught all the jewies nere the bridge at karuah. we found a hole drifting with our gps and sounder and if you drift even a couple of metres off the spot you wont get any hook ups. Having a good transducer and sounder helps. we use a Furuno 585 sounder with a one kW transducer. we also do alot of marlin and tuna fishing out wide of a place called hat head nere south west rocks, and the carpark out of Port Stephens and the sounder has given us magical results in terms of picking up the bottom even in 400+ metres of water.
