Hodgey Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 G'Day all, There's not much I can say to embellish this 'capture', other than to say it was pretty special because it's my first jewy on lure: He measured a gargantuan 40cm ... now I would like to upgrade! Caught at the bottom of the run out tide on a 3/8oz jighead/100mm squidgy fish in Black/Gold. Pleased to say it was target species too. Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewdreamer Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Onya Mate! Its so hard to get that first one... I'd been trying to get a jewie on a placcy for dang near 5 years now... Up at south west rocks in late Jan with a mate and my son, up some silly little creek and we found a patch, none quite legal but 13 in an hour and a half! Great fun on bream gear. We're gonna visit them again next year when they've had a chance to grow up a bit. Cheers Mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
