rjc123 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hey raiders, purchased a fishing magazine today which i probably shouldn't name due to site regulations. It consisted of 5 pages of pictures and fantastic tips on Jewies including Gear, Techniques, Tactics, Tides and much much more. We are considering purchasing a boat in the next year or so and this has motivated me even more. I have only ever caught a 30cm jewie but have had a few solid hook ups on jews at Milson Island and Bar Point in the hawksbury which all ended in the line breaking or me pulling the hooks!! This particular article was based on the Hawkesbury which i fish a lot and is arguably one of the best jewfish rivers in Australia! The tactics was one of the most interesting aspects as it mentioned that jewies are actually easier to locate during the day as they sit in holes and wait for bait to be swept into the hole by the current as opposed to locating them at night when they are hunting and cant be located as easily! Cant wait for summer now and have a crack at a few. Just wanted to share his with those raiders that are interested or are still hoping for their forst big jew!

humesy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Not a bad read at all with some interesting theories. Surprised to hear he uses baitrunners for the first run. His thoughts on daytime vs night are also interesting. Those chasing their first might be best to save long trips until the water heats up. You will recognise the magazine by the picture of a jewie on the cover. I reckon it must boost sales to have a big jewie on the front. I am sure all us tragics buy a copy for that very reason.

Kelza Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 i got the magazine and it was interesting how he said 99% of he's jewie fishing was during the day but only when in a boat..and he would do landbased fishing at night so the hunting jewies can find the bait ..i cant wait to get a boat so i can try out all these tips and info and hopefully can get a nice jewie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myocard Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I gave it a miss at 12.95 cover price. This forum and other web resources have made it very hard to part with cash for a few pages of information. There is a wealth of jewfish knowledge right here. There is a wealth of knowledge here.
