Cold and windy day on the Parra.

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! :biggrin2:

Nice looking Jewies, well done Greg & Richard! Bad luck, Browney! Next time! It was pretty cold up here over the last couple of days too! Even the sand had frost on it at 6.30am!!

Hey Johnny

We were fishing soft vibe lures similar to the jackall TN70 mask vibe and soft plastics. 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.
