craigbutcher Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 HI Raiders, Fished offshore the heads last night in some deep holes. The TERAGLIN were on the chew from just after sunset righ through the night. Caught 8 over 70cm between us and left them biting. Couldnt fit anymore in the large ESKY. BUTCH
craigbutcher Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 Nice fish, better eating than jewies. Yeh bro, they are extremely nice hey! Havent caught for a few seasons now though, so I am a fair while between mouth fulls.
gianniz Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 welldone and thanks for the education. Never even herd or seem this jewy looking thing. love your post. bloody jealous!

Pongrass18ft Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Great feed butch Would of been awsome fun to catch. Only ever caught one from eden few years back and it was great tucker. Enjoy the feast mate Chris.
frankp Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Great catch Butch, some nice looking fish. Were you fishing offshore in your boat, if so what was the weather like and what is it like offshore at night? I have been planning a night snapper session and was curious. Thanks.
leonardgid Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Hello Butch, what sort of bait did you catch them on? thanks.

HI Mate, Yeh I fish offshore at night around long reef and fair bit. Very dangerous though if you dont know the terrain and unproductive if you dont have good locations / GPS marks for certain species. Fishing for Jewfish and Teraglin at night is very productive (in certain areas of the reef) and snapper too, however, early morning or late arvos for me are the best for big snapper. Teraglin usually don't bite during the day at all, so night fishing for them is often imperitive (however, I have hooked them in the day on the odd occasion). I you want to night fish, make sure you have fished the area in the day many times before and use your GPS MAPPING SYSTEM to map a safe route (if you have a GPS). Most of all, take care.

Hi Butch Well done on the trag mate We catch plenty up off port stephens at the big gibber but have not fished for them off Sydney before What depth of water are you catching them in and what water temp? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated Aqua Monster
