Rafinx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Hey guys first off, I would like to say Thank you to my unofficial mentor Moe (SQUIDDIN) For helping me catch this monster fish. And a Special Thanks to Sara for my relentless Quest to catch my first Jew and the sleepless nights attempting. Love you (Id like to know if i can get this in the January catch of the month?) Ok Lets make this a decent report and explain the whole night, It started with me and my girlfriend (Sara) picking up Moe and having a 20 minute discussion on where to go fishing first, at 7pm. We decided to hit oatley boat ramp to see if some poddies were around, unfortunately none decent size. After a short time it started to rain and had to get the rain coats out, then gave up deciding to hit the hacking for squid and yakkas, Sara Caught a yakka, while Moe caught a decent size arrow, with nothing else to use as bait... WELL lucky we went squidding through out the week and had an arsenal of about 10-15 squids. Nothing beats the trip over to the Georges river with Moe and I having abit of a go at each other, when all was resolved with a late night maccas run! Ok at this time it was high tide, 12 pm at the hacking, and thought it was time to go to the Georges river, Shortley after arriving we saw a couple other jew fishers packing up at i stamped my T-curve bluewater in the rod holder, Moe took the right side. My rig was a sliding snell with a star sinker and glow beads, which, was professionally made by Moe, also showing me how to rig my squid. Ok the time now is 1pm the tide coming up slowly and almost about to stop dead in its track, Sara has her pillow and blanket and saddled up for the night while Moe and I found a swivel chair that i joked saying its a game chair, after about 20 minutes of watching breams chew on our squids, I decided to set up a small graphite rod with tube worms, when I hear the sound of my Baitrunner 8000 starting to run, at this time I jumped off my game chair while Moe was telling me to not reef the rod straight away. Here i was holding it tightly, watching my baitrunner go nuts, and finally about 3 runs later Moe gives me the cue, So i reefed the T-Curve and BANG! A STEAM TRAIN! with head shakes, before the fish was already tired, it was like bringing in a dead weight until it was close, and WOW its a moment ill never forget, when the fish surfaced, it was a Beaut, after netting him, I had to shake Moe's hand like 5 times, he has helped me so much and deserves recognition for the catch. Ok thats enough about the catch you all wanna see the photo's The Fish is 96 cm and I weight him this morning, 7.7kg Edited January 7, 2011 by Rafinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafinx Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys, Moe is a great guy and is always willing, he is committed to fishing and a great mate to have. I believe you defo need the information for these fish, as they are a very mysterious, specially when you see the tide so still only to be broken by a fish of that calibre Edited January 8, 2011 by Rafinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
