Rockett1985 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks everyone it was pretty much the best feeling ever. I have spent a lot of time on the sand learning from every failed attempt! Fingers crossed this bloody wind dies down and I can get some fresh and live bait for tomorrow nights session off the beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisho.sid Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Congrats BTW on 1st Jew catch - i remembered mine around the 80cm mark on frozen prawns as a bycatch to whiting/breams/flathead. And unfortunately still need to beat that so know the feeling. However can someone tell me how to much bait to 'slab' on for jew bait. Is it a gang hook setup? if so how much bait? Is it a long thin strip? say 3cm by 15cm? similar to a pillie? or is it bigger than that with 2 double hooks? Is it a running sinker or a patternoster? (hmm confused are they the same?) Any tips is appreciated. Still a beginner when it comes to the beach. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
