balsarini Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) I went out Friday arvo to my fav new found Jewfish hole on Friday night and got some massive runs right on the turn of high tide but they kept spitting the hooks so i decided to call it a night and head out early the next morn. I left my house at 6 am, went to Mac's Bait Bar and got some fresh squid caught in the hawkesbury the day before and headed to Bald Face Point area and anchored up right up on high tide. Caught a 40cm Jew and a few undersize pinkies aswell as a small blue swimmer in the first half an hour and then it went quiet for a bit. Then the bait runner started getting what was a few small nibbles at first, then some small runs, then it took off. After a 5 minute fight and a few VERY nervous moments i boated this beast! It went 80cm+ and just over 6kg. Persistance, tips from this site and the best bait in Sydney from Mac's all helped. I couldn't be happier if i tried!
