GregL Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 My lucky/unlucky streak keeps a coming! First up car breaks down on the way out today on Woodville Rd! Oh well can't do what I need to, bugger it I'm going fishing! Richard was already going and had asked earlier but had work to do. A quick phone call and reserved my spot on his boat. He was going to chase some snapper but with restricted time a jew call was made. Both armed with new Daiwa Chilli dog rods and a bunch of Banjo Minnows we plugged away up river around Gladesville to Putney, just chucking into all of the holes along the way. First up I scored a little tacker that promptly got released, next cast while lighting a smoke I feel a little tap through the rod against my arm. Weird, I quickly finish lighting my fag and struck...... This is what was on the end of my line A move at the end of the drift saw us further up stream. Richard says to me "cast over to that ruffle, thats where they will be". I fire out a long cast, almost making the mark. 15 seconds later the lure hits the bottom, tap on the end of the line.... Few more spots on the waay home I had a few more hits but no hook up. What a great way to spend a couple of hours in such great conditions, total opposite to last session! Cheers Richard for the guide today Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregL Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Man what a great few weeks it's been for me, nah make that a great year so far! Karma I recon After saving the guy earlier this year that was swept off the rocks, since then my fishing has just got better and better. (had lost my mojo for at least a 6 month stint before that) I also feel that the amount of fishing that I have been doing has got me back "in the zone". FIshing for so many species of late also helps. What I learn from one species I have been using on other species. For instance the barra fishing I did abit over a month ago, I have gone out and bought the same lures and used the same technique and just adjusted the tackle to suit size of fish. In the end resault, 3 jews in one session and was only the second attemp to chase jews on lures before. Over the last 3 months I have only missed a handful of days without wetting a line, many because of work commitments otherwise no matter what the wind or temp I have gone for atleast an hour. It's like a tennis player, one that plays all the time is going to be better than one that just plays weekends.... Other things that help is a fishing buddy thats just as keen as you are and that likes a bit of competition. It just makes you cast that little bit harder!

Damn right greg, I really enjoy fishing with new people because there is always another way to skin a cat. Seeing and learning new techniques is so much better in person than just seeing it on instructional videos etc. Now if we can just bottle that sfactor sweat!

It's all about balance. You're getting paid back for what you did. Anyway, it's great to see someone on a roll. Just keep these great reports coming.

jewgaffer Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Good effort on the jew Greg. when the going gets tough diversify your lure baits, I wouldn't be at all surprised if you catch your next jewfish on a Tasmanian devil Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
