Liver Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Hi, I'm looking to go for a night fish in Cowan Creek/ Brooklyn area and was hoping to find some deep holes for Jew Fish but without a sounder this will surely prove to be difficult. Can anyone share certain locations to drop a bait? Edited September 10, 2012 by Predatory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.dawg Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Waratah and jerusalem bay will give you a chance. Also along long island nature reserve closer to the Brooklyn rail bridge side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjc123 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Jerusalem Bay is generally pretty good. You have to move around in cowan though so if your not getting fish after a while then move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconnolly Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Usually the drop-offs are best. Preferably in the end of bays such as Waratah, Jerusalem, little Jerusalem etc. Cowan is a large expanse of water and is deep. So just pulling up at a place that looks good can just produce either nothing or hoards of tiny red bream. However anchoring on the edge of a drop-off, casting some lines up onto the shallows and on or two out into the deeper water is productive in my experience and from what I've read. Moving along just off the drop-offs and casting SPs into the shallows is also good. If live baiting always have a small squid jig handy. There seem to be plenty of squid trying to do a lobotamy on any live bait (yellowtail etc). If your live baits are under a float, just lob the jig next to it evey now and then. Berley is pretty much a must if anchoring too. It brings the bait fish around which attract larger fish as well. Hope this helps. Let us know how you go. Cowan also can be great for "getting away from it all". Reeltired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconnolly Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Shark Rock point, Cowan Point and the Entrance to Smiths Creek are supposed to be good for Jewies. Big drop offs close to shore. I've tried The entrance to smiths but have mainly caught those annoying monodactor (or whatever they are called) things (they look like they belong in a tropical fish tank). Did get a nice falthead there though. It's a rough bottom and gear losses can be high. Reeltired ps. There is a DVD around (I don't thik I'm supposed to mention any names)that is all about jewies which actually shows you some specific spots. I've already mentioned 2 of them.
