tide'n'knots Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 hi raiders i just got home from an overnighter at wisemans ferry and i am stoked with the result! i tried a method that i have been thinking about for a while now using chicken fillets marinated in aniseed oil and parmesan cheese sliced into long stips and baited onto a snelled 2 hook rig and the result exceeded my expectations! around 9pm roughly 1 hour before low tide the rod buckle and i was into a nice jew that measured 75cm. Around 2am roughly 1 hour before the top of the tide i was waken from my sleep with a zzzzzzzzzz. At first i thought the fish was similar to the first one but as the fight wore on i started to realise that there was a lot more weight behind this one as it sat deep and just dogged it out for the next five minutes. Eventually i was able to gaff it and it hit the deck at 1 mtr 160cm 14 1/2 kgs or 32lb in the old scale and a new pb!!! Swordy has kindly offered to put the pic up from his phone for me as i cant seem to figure out how to..... thanks stewy!! i would like to submit my fish into catch of the month....there is a yellow torch just near the fishes tail! my mate joe also lost a similar fish to my first one near the boat on a prawn. cheers pete.

JohnDory Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Very nice fish pete, If you didn't get a fish you could have made a nice mid night snack from your bait. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Giddy up pete! A friggen jew that size on chicken? Wow, I got a king on the same bait a few weeks ago but a jew that size is amazing! It's got me thinking about marlin season and i might just present the fish a nice scotch fillet! Lol So what was the actual size? Maybe a typo (1meter 160cms???) Cheers scratchie!!!

Brooker435 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Hi Pete, would love to mate, send me a PM next time your planning on going and ill do my best to get there. I also wouldnt mind having a look at your boat again so I can get ideas on how to setup my quintrex as I remember your boat was very comfortable to fish out of mine however is dead stock & I want to eventually set it up like your boat.
