johnno Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) After hearing some chatter the jewfish where on.In a few phone calls between Stewie and myself whilst talking of the impending inaugural bass trip. Sunday was looking to be the day for me to try for mine and my mates first legal Jewfish So a mate and I hit the ramp pretty early 5.30am and motored up the cooks. Reached the spot to find no run at all.DEAD So we started belting it with 1/4 tt heads with 4-5 plastics for no result Stewie gave me a call pretty early(thanks)and said "KEEP CASTING DO NOT MOVE". within 20mins i came up solid but was this to be? After a short fight my first jewfish was in the net and on the deck. measured 58cm Quick pic and in she went. Not a Bad PB and first ever jewfish to start the account. we kept on fishing and my mate got whacked but failed to hook up by mm after looking at the bite mark on the plastic got another few hits but nothing to write home about. Pick up 6-7 flathead then we made our way out of the cooks got back to the ramp at 11am and home washed up to get out of the heat on Sunday. here is a pic Some people might not recognize me i am a little healthier and fitter then i was Edited November 8, 2011 by johnno

Guest Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Excellent work Johnno and your persistance really paid dividends for you. I dont mind chatting to you early whilst fishing because if I cant be there myself I feel like I am beside you in spirit Now that you and Steve have scored your first ones it becomes so much easier as you will have the confidence to work your plastics even harder now and the results will follow. HONK HONK HONK is our catch cry from a few years ago at Glenbawn when and if we scored a fish we would let our air horns off ......See you in a few days Johnno and we will smack those bass around Cheers Stewy
