Big jews in spencer mate.........

Remember big fresh baits = big fish, caught a 16kg jew in the hawkesbury 2nights ago

Jews are everywhere in the hawksbury lately

Hi Nick,

My wife Michelle used to work with you at IGA She says hi.

Mate, the Hawkesbury is full of Jews, you just need to know where and when. It is true that they will turn up in most spots at one time or another, but there are spots that do hold fish on a regular basis. Expect many Pike Eels, Rays, Shovelnoses, Baby Hammerhead to be caught if you're soaking big slab baits, but you've gotta be in it to win it, I guess. You could try 6 inch Gulp grubs or 7 inch Gulp Jerk Shads, that will eliminate the pesty species being caught, although I did catch an Eel on a Powerbait Grub the other week.

Bring on Winter on the Hawkesbury, my favourite time of the year for Jews.

gday mate, I use to fish spencer quite a bit years ago - a sneaky little spot is to drop anchor just outside the red pole on the right hand side of the public wharf on the run in tide. Burley with some wheat and use peeled hawkesbury prawns and some big bream can be caught there at times. night time is best but they are there in the day time usually as well. Put a big bait out for a jew also because I have seen quite a few caught from the wharf itself including one that a mate caught one night 17lb!

good luck
