tide'n'knots Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) gday raiders , i went fishing on saturday night with my son paul and we had a great night together.we arrived at the ramp around 2pm for a turn of the tide around 4pm and we didnt have to wait too long before we got results! around 3pm Pauls rod baited with peeled prawn buckled and screamed off.Its been about 18 yrs since paul has caught a decent jewfish and he handled it like a seasoned pro. About 10 mins later i netted a nice 88cm jew and it was high fives all around! unfortunately i video'd his capture but couldnt get it to download. About half an hour after dark one of my rods screamed off baited with chicken marinated in aniseed and parmesan and i landed a nice 74cm model. Throughout the night we caught about 15 or 20 bream flathead and undersize jewfish and the pleasing part was that quite a few of the jewfish were up around 50 or 60 cm and they have definately become a more frequent catch at that size since they upped the size limit to 70cm so it has been a success in my opinion and should only get better now that they have a chance to reach sexual maturity. About 2.30 am i managed another 74cm model that looked like the previous ones twin!i took a pic with the yellow torch so i can submit the catch for catch of the month but i have no idea how to download the report and pics into that section? maybe a mod could help out please?Cheers pete Edited May 25, 2016 by nbdshroom Rotating photos.

big Neil Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Well done Pete and son on a very substantial bag of mixed species. Can I ask you a question that I've asked several times, but had no reply. What do you use in the pitch dark to indicate that you have a bite on a particular rod...or is the boat lit up enough to see all the rods? Cheers, Neil.

Cheers, Neil.G'day mate the masthead light is ample light to see a bite on the rod .... I also paint the rod tips white or wrap white insulation tape around it and with the light shining on it against a black sky they stand out like neons !Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 You can also buy glow in the dark tape from office works thanks for that Laborgatory]. Where I fish (in a river) it's important to be really dark, so I use those clip on bells. Cheers ,Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use clip on bells when I fish the river (from the bank), as it needs to be dark to get the fish to bite. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
