brecko90 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hey everyone, i was flicking through the paper the other day (Monday it was) and saw the fishing report in the weather section. it read "13 to 23kg jewfish are being caught on patonga squid at Juno point in the hawkesbury". So i was just wondering if anyone had heard if this may be true and if that source in credible? regardless ill be heading up there on Friday morning and might give it a crack unless i see the salmon and mac tuna bust ups again.

humesy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Which paper? I'd be taking it with a grain of salt. The tele used to poach reports from another forum for their daily reports. They were often a month old. I reckon this is often the case with newspaper reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brecko90 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 yea it was in the tele. i wouldnt trust them as far as i could throw them but 2 weeks ago they reported mac tuna at lion island and sure enought i went out the next day and there were schools of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Newspapers have been sending dodgy reports for years, quite often it is the tackle and bait shops filing the reports to get fishos to buy bait and tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamestown Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Doubt it very much, although this time of year normally produces the biggest fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brecko90 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 What type of boat do u have scratchie?? Me and my brother will be hitting palm beach, the piller box and patonga beach for bait then heading to Juno. We will be cruising round in a 5.2m white in green savage. Give us a wave.

Shanemills Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I had a mate a few years ago used to own a tackle shop. He told me the paper used to ring him for reports and he told them duck creek was fishing well and they wrote it. So not always correct but sometimes it's credible.
