Gold Coast Seaway

[PRED-ATOR]

Hi Guys,

Hit the gold coast sea way, southern wall in search of tailor and jewies last night.

Was using two set ups:

For tailor, was using a pillie on gangies under a float, and for Jewies; i was slow rolling big hard bodies in the wash.

No luck on the jewies (what else is new) but i did manage a tailor on the first cast, quite literally as soon as the bait hit the water. I thought i was going to be in for an epic session but after that first fish it went quiet.

Guys, has anyone fished the sand pumping jetty? i heard it can get as packed as clifton gardens but has the odd big fish come through....

Cheers, Stan

Forget hard bodies unless you really want to crack one on plastic. Conditions have to be right to be in with a shot, and it could be a long time between hits.

It you really want to just catch a jew, put your tailor out live.

Well done on getting in to it.

You're not allowed to fish the sand pumping jetty, but everybody does.

Lot's of tailor there. Were you land based or in a boat?

There's also plenty of tailor off Main beach at the moment.

Dan's right about the tailor. It's rare to catch just one & if they disappear

it's usually because a jew or a shark is into them. Throw it out live or strip

bait it to get the big fish.

I've found the inside of the north wall, when you can anchor, better for jew.

It's only a small window but can be well worth it.

Cheers,

Grant.

Thanks Grant,

Yeah, i was fishing the south wall at the very tip. casting both into the seaway, and on the side onto the beach (oppose the sand pumping jetty).

I know the jew spot your talking about but its been pretty packed out with boats and cant get there land based. we sounded up some big fish there on the boat once but conditions were not safe enough to anchor.

went out last night thought to the 24's and caught a 10kg mack tuna float lining a pillie.

Cheers

Mate, you can fish the SPJ and you are allowed to do so.. It costs $4.40 to fish or walk on fee is $2.20 or something like that. I fish there regularly, I would be happy to offer you all the necessary advice where, when, times etc. just PM me. I will say it has been slow lately but Jew have been consistent.

Cheers

Grant - are you talking about the Fingal SPJ? I know that you can't fish and people do anyway..

You certainly can fish the sand pumping jetty at the goldy seaway...the office is full of pictures from ppl catching fish off it. As mentioned though they do charge.
