Fresh squid is the way to go i reckon but i hear that the california squid are also good. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooker435 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Mate, If you can bear the cold then its worth giving it a shot. The more you get out there the better your chances are of getting into the jew. I was thinking of getting out there also but we will have to see how my week goes too early to plan. as far as bait goes fresh is best so definately try putting in the effort and catch yakkas well worth it and if you have time through the week you could even try for squid. but I have used california squid in the past and they work, good luck with it anyway remember persistence pays off!!!

Mr.KingSpooled Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hey mate, Yeah as Nathan said fresh is best. So id be trying to definately get a bucket of yakkas with an airater to keep them live and kicking. Also really good bait would be fresh salmon fillet or tailor fillet. Live or really fresh squid works wonders, BUT always takes time to get a few for bait. If you like I wouldnt mind coming out for a jew session. Let me know where you fellaz plan on going and ill be more than happy to come along and have a good fish also give you guys some tips on how ive caught jews before. Rigs, bait etc. I basically learnt everything I know from various raider members which has helped me caught some decent sized jews. I have not yet gone out in winter for jews but I wouldnt mind having a go since I havent done it in a while. Just PM or what not and we can get it organized.

rjc123 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Winter is quality while summer is quantity. You will stil get them with fresh bait and the right tides but they will be bigger than the average fish in summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulch Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 hi raiders when going for jews, are you supposed to use a float or have it resting on the bottom? i've got access to yakkas, and had a few runs on my lines last 2 weekends, but couldnt hook anything then on sunday i actually hooked onto something massive which devoured my whole yakka, took about 100m of line out, before i tightened the drag, which woke him up, and went crazy before he took my hook and sinker i think it was a jew or a shark, but of course, i'll never know until we meet again!!!!

Greg, You have some pretty impressive records well done to you, I am still yet to get a jew on a lure will have to keep at it. I am also wondering what soft vibes are you using??? I have tried a couple of the Berkley ones and caught whiting on them and I am keen to try more, Regards, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregL Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hmmm I know there isn't much stock of these lures in the country at the moment..... I could tell but I need a few more myself..... I know of only a couple of shops in Sydney that sell them and both need to restock.... Oh ok now, did a quick call n I just took all that my local had...... They are called Banjo MInnows..... Shhhhh just don't tell anyone! hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
