slam354 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Good going Pete didnt think the californian squid would be that effective.Can you PM me the shop were you bought them as I have not seen it in the bait shop in my local area in Ashfield.Could you also outline your rig set up hook sizes single or snell and the type of bait presentation ie whole or strips whatever has been working.That would be awesome. Cheers Steve
rjc123 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 You fellas definitely have those Jewies covered at the moment!
mimyo Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Awesome catch there boys! I'm doing a jewie sesh on thurs or fri, good to know that the California squid works, will give them a go as well as some caught stuff. Did you have any runs from some bigger jews? Cheers Mim

Cheers Steve gday steve, you can buy the squid at lots of bait shops these days but I will send you a PM and let you know where I get mine. As for the rig - I use a trace of about 1mtr with 2 hooks on the bottom, 1 snelled about 6inches above the bottom hook. Dont go crazy on hook sizes either a 2/0 is probably big enough, any bigger and the bait will lay dead on the bottom and not look natural,you want it too waiver around a bit in the current.the bottom hook goes through the hood and out the head and the top hook through the top of the hood. keep a fairly close eye on your bait and if it has been damaged and doesnt look entire anymore because of pickers - take it of and use a fresh one. You will go through quite a few this way but I find they work better when they are whole or entire not just 3/4 or bits and pieces. We went through about 1kg of squid last night so as long as there arent too many small bream or snapper etc where your fishing it shouldnt be too bad. good luck. pete.
tide'n'knots Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 Do you think you could go that well on plastics? I am no expert on plastics but I have tried the area during daylight hours for zip! maybe a serious night plastics trip is needed. pete.
PowerFisher Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Congrats on the Jewfish, it looks like this month is good for jewfish.
tide'n'knots Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 Excellent session there. Congrats! Was your spot east or west of the Bridge? I fish west of the bridge but not too far up! not far from the lane cave river. pete

Cheers Mim unfortunately the only thing dissapointing about the whole session was that the fish were all schoolies and nothing overly big - however beggers cant be choosy I guess! pete
