FishChaser Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) hey raiders, Headed out yesterday, targeting jewfish on lure on a mate's boat using micro jigs. After sounding out some areas, we found our desired jewie hole. With hope of catching a few mulloway, we persisted through the first hour, only managing small by-catch including flathead and snapper. Soon after, i hooked up to an almighty weight. The line buzzing off my lightweight jew outfit with 12pd leader, i clarified it was a jew due to its typical head shakes and i knew I was in for a long fight. 15 minutes later, i got the jew off the bottom and began to see colour. As it surfaced, it was netted... Finally, I had landed my long desired first jew ON LURE! It measured 81cm and was happily released Edited December 10, 2013 by FishChaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 That is a great effort and a decent fish for your first on a lure! I'm sure the fight would have been very satisfying. Well done! ??? Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Mckenzie Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Nice work mate was that of Sydney. PM me if you like. Great catch by the way. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flickn Mad Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Nice one. you gotta love a good fight when the fish doesn't whant to come off the bottom. Keeps you on edge, very exciting. To my knowledge micro jigs are just that, small versions of any recognised metal or occy jigs. Not surprised the legal jew ate one, they do like bream lures at that size.

brendong Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Man micro jigs are the rage.....like the look of those new micro jig rods too that have just hit the market...might have to invest....hadn't thought of using them for Jews, more snapper and kings etc....nice work on your first Jew!
