spizza Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 G'day, Armed with some big shads and high hopes I ventured to Rosie to try and crack a winter Jew... My first two casts of the day resulted in snags and I was down two storm shads in 5 minutes. Moved up a little further and spent the next hour and a half working a good looking area for nil results. A georgeous day on the water even though it was fishless.. On the prowl.. Cheers, Spizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Roseville can be very frustrating! But what a beautiful waterway so close to the city! Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizza Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Roseville can be very frustrating! 61205[/snapback] Tell me about it Howard! Without doubt the toughest fishery I have ever fished. But it's the beauty and peacefullness of the location that keeps bringing me back, not to mention no no nos DVD Jew segment.. I've said it before, I've caught my best bream at this spot, but only on bait, chicken fillet to be exact.. Cheers, Spizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narralakes Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Bad luck Spizza, being on the water is great, but a couple of fish always makes it better. After the social yesterday, Bluecod and I were coming back about 4pm and there were heaps of choppers busting up all over the place as we were coming in at Roseville, had heaps of fun there on fly for over an hour. But overall, Iv'e never had success there, frustrating is an understatement, but then again, heaps of others have caught fish there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pugwash Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I agree. It is at times very frustrating. Many days i've had nothing, yet others I've landed some monster flatties in amongst the moored boats. But that's fishing isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizza Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 (edited) Besides, Mr McGill's famous video, does anyone know of anyone who has hooked at jew at this famous spot? 61217[/snapback] Dave, I remember walking into Harbord tackle about a decade ago and seeing some pics of a couple of big Jew taken the evening before, land based next to the Rosie bridge pylons. Both were caught on white feather jigs. I also have a magazine photo of a guy gaffing a big Jewie on another feather jig right next to the Roseville bridge. As for McGill's hole, well, I remember speaking to him late last year and he mentioned they were still catching them weeks after the DVD was shot. He showed me the photo's.

spizza Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just as a tease, there were jew scales on the cleaning table at Roseville yesterday. 61316[/snapback] sure they weren't hairtail scales Daryl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yeh I seen those jewie scales on the cleaning table as well, not massive but definitely from a decent size fish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken A Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Haven't you guys heard of the "Jewscale Fairy" she is a little fairy who flies around scattering jew scales at all the cleaning tables up & down the coast to suck fisherman into thinking there are Jews about. We have all seen the scales but in all honesty have you ever seen the fish they came from? Trust me its the Jewscale fairy at work guys. She's a close relative of the "Morning Wood" fairy who flies around giving blokes ...........err well you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
