Finally cracked a jew off the beach

Hi Raiders,

Fishingnoob (Matt) and I hit up the beach on friday to get him onto his first fish. We set up a great paternoster rig which mat hooked a plastic on the top hook and bait on the bottom. He got heaps of hits from tailor and salmon, one hook up but unfortunately dropped the fish. He keeps blaming his teacher lol.

I was fishing 2 rods, both new. Bought a samaki allure 10' and a shimano aero wave 12'.

Both great rods, the allure is so light. I matched that to a daiwa opus bull 6000 and 20lb power pro. I had the 12' aero wave matched to a daiwa saltist 6500. I bought some lighter braid for it but still waiting for it to arrive (had the reel originally spooled for jigging).

We also picked up some of those LED Lenser head lamps. OMG they are so bright. I was afraid if i turned it all the way up, i would shoot red lasers in a cyclopse like fashion.

Anyway turn of the tide, i was fishing squid on circle hooks and caught a little jewy. Not the biggest jew i caight but i have never caught one off the beach so was stoked!

Also caught a salmon and a shovel nose shark, never caught one of these either they foght just like a ray.

Pics arent anything special, enjoy the read.

Great company Matt, we will get you that fish!

Cheers, Stan

Top stuff Stan and wonderful report!

Good on you for mentoring a fellow Raider and getting out there in the cold windy conditions and getting onto a few nice fish :thumbup:

Congratulations on the new gear too!! I hope you get maximum out of it. The Samaki rods are tremendous aren't they!! I adore mine.

Keep up the great work.

Nicely done.

Ian
