Nutz4Fishin Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hey guys, Heading out in botany bay this weekend and hoping to land my first Jew. I have never targeted jews before and am hoping for a few tips. Going to get out there mid arvo and spend the night out there. Hope the weather is good! Bait? Livies? Gear? Rig? Location? Shallow/Deep Water? Tide? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Anyone had any success recentły? Cheers Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Hooked Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi Cameron Have a look at the post on the main Fishing chat page titled “JEWFISH TACTICS” Great info. Took me about 13 attempts within a 2 year period too land my first. Came out to be 89cm. Good luck let us all know how you go Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjc123 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If your going to use yakkas hook it through the top lip or both. For squid a 2 hook snelled rig as mentioned by "SQUDIN" is best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOE^MOE Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 i personally like using 2 hook snelled rig for my livies i put a hook thru the nose and one just behind the neck just a personal thing not to say 1 hook isnt enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem i found is that the yakka dies a fair bit faster. If the fish are there they should take it by then i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOE^MOE Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 i dnt pierce the meat that deep on the boat you dont need to cast it so you chances of losing the arnt great at all but land based i only use the 1 hook rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
