thefisherman6784 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) G'day raider Well as the title says, I finally got my jewwie I've wanted to catch! Here's how the day went Me and Garth (momantai) organised a trip to head out to try get me my first Jew So up at 5:30am, in the boat by 6am and off we went. Arrived at our first spot which wasn't really showing much action so we headed off to another spot. I was jigging the lure straight up and down keeping in touch with the bottom while Garth was doing the normal cast and retrieve My mate texted me so checked my phone and when I went for my next lift I was on. Straight away called for small flattie, then came up and looked like a tailor, then while swinging it in the boat, realised it was a baby Jewwy! Couple quick photos and was released Then a few more drops there but no fish so made another move further up river. It was looking good, lots of bait around but only got a flattie So made another move and a bit of persistence there and I got a solid tick and hooked up to a solid fish It had heaps of weight, nice headshakes and some nice runs. Garth and I both called for a Jewwy. It was under the boat and didn't wanna come up, but then all of a sudden a big flash of silver appears from under the boat and my heart was in my mouth! Garth was a bit hesitant to net it as he thought it would have gone for another little run but it cooperated and swam nicely into the net I was stoked, for my second jewwie I couldn't be happier It measured in at 64cm and was a very fat, heavy fish. Then we moved to try and find some surface activity in between the tide change but found nothing that was consistent so tried getting yakkas to put out live but they where tiny and not even touching the baits so moved back for Jews By now the wind had picked up which made it hard but we sounded one spot out and found some good marks and Garth gets a little tap and pulls up to another solid fish Fighting quite similar to my one, just had a bit more weight and up he comes and into the net It measured 74cm and yet again another fat and heavy fish And that's about it for the day, we saw a few bust ups here and there but nothing consistent to cast at Huge thanks to Garth for taking me out and putting me onto some jewwies (Sorry for the long read guys) Cheers Gianni Edited September 5, 2015 by thefisherman6784 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
