Sherwinator Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hey raiders, Just came back from a trip up to Forster with the family (around the Boomerang / Blueys Beach area). I was keen to get a few Jewies off the rocks... I couldn't believe it when I jagged this guy on my second cast! I managed to hook 2 more over the next hour but lost them both They kept diving into the rocks and busting me off. This guy was caught at 6:45pm just before high tide. It was 60cm and 1.9Kg. I fished for the rest of the week and recon I hooked up on 3 more but lost them all (also released about 10 small sharks in by-catch). Oh well, just makes me even more keen to crack the 1m mark!

puppydawg Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 well done mate if you're losing them due to hooks not sticking, trying changing the doubles for in-line singles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwinator Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I was using 2 lures. One was a Berkley Frenzy Firestick Mungo and the other was also a Berkley Frenzy but a different colour (Green/Blue). Thanks for the tip puppydawg - Makes good sense...
