No Hairtail but could not get away from the Jewfish

[Benji-martin]

Went out to WB last night after some hairtail. Originally planned to be on the water by 4 but things happen and didn't get on the water till 6. I put in a apple tree bay and went around to WB. There was already 42 boats out whiched looked pretty amazing. Found some deep

Water between two boats anchored up and started to burley. Nothing happened for the first few hours and was a little slow then all of a sudden everything started going off. The rods that were down for thd hairtail continued to be pulled down but I cox not hook what ever it was. Then the lines on the bottom started going off. In two hours I landed 10 jewfish using 4lb line which made it fun. I got 4 small 2 around 80cm and 4 around 50cm. 1 big one and small one went In the ice along with a few bream to end a good night

Well done on the jews. The hairys are easy to temp a bite but hard to hook.
