humesy Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Details/story is as follows. It was indeed a very fishy evening and I had a strong feeling that a local central coast beach would produce. I had a good supply of squid in the freezer, mainly due to a couple of recent fruitless trips on the jewies. Arrived an hour before sunset and started with a few bonito strips and plenty of burley. A short while later a 55cm jew hit the first squid bait to go out and then another (just 30cm) shortly afterwards. At about 8.30, the biggie struck. I was using my 13ft heavy beach rod/alvey set up and it performed superbly. There were rocks nearby so I had the hurt on and the fish was comfortably subdued. The shorebreak was very dumpy and was the only really nervous moment. I actually lost contact with the fish as it washed up on a wave and it bashed into my legs on the way past. It stayed on the sand afterwards and I was ready to celebrate. I had my biggest juiciest squid left in the bucket and I reckon there was every chance of another big fish. I had plenty of cleaning ahead of me and now have plenty of fillets in the fridge so I happily called it a night. It had a totally empty stomach so may have been hungry. The barometer showed 1004 which is low and the change hit at about midnight. Make of that what you will. Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Have found in Port Hacking, that sometimes the jews come on the bite just as the southerly buster hits, BUT, it is uncomfortable fishing due to the wind and the waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plankton Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 How heavy it go Humsey? I won't guess how heavy I think it is as I have recently found on a different website, that in doing so, you can be banned. The Raiders are professional and the site itself is a pleasure to use - well done everyone. My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
