GregL Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Today it was bloody freezing! Westerlys funneled down the river and for most of the day, against tide made fishing seriously hard. I recon it only took 5 casts for Richard to nail the first Jew for the day but then it just went to crap. Wind got stronger, temp didnt feel like it got any warmer and I recon if we didnt get the first so soon we wouldn't have lasted as long as we did! I didn't score the second till lunch time and that was after doing a lap down the harbour looking for greener pastures. Copped a bashing out in the harbour chop/ferry wash for Browney to catch this massive cod! Richards one from the morning Mine after lunch Thanks again Richard for the day out in ya tub and Browney for the "extra" red bulls! Better luck next time mate!

We focus on any of the deep holes and target the drop offs that scatter the harbour. Wrecks are also favs but you do lose a few lures around these. Your sounder is very important part of the lure game. We usually can find the fish on the sounder before bites so it's important that you know how to drive yours to get the best reading. Side scan that RIchard has is amazing. Search 100ft out each side as well as up and down. Cuts search time in quarter! Jews should come up as big arches on or just off the bottom.

paul.kenny Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Wow you blokes are just smashing the jewies, even on the tough days you are still getting nice fish. I am looking forward to chasing the jewies with the aid of my new down and side scanner. cheers PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
