TK01 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I went out this morning for a sneaky mid week jig and got myself a 77cm kingy, 72cm trag and a leathery on the slow jigs. Slightly choppy conditions but not too bad. It’s been a while since I did any jigging as I’ve been more interested in chasing snapper on plastics, so it was good fun to do something different today. I’m no expert on this form of fishing but it always seems to produce fish for me. I think it’s a very effective way of catching all sorts of funny looking things off the bottom, but occasionally I get rewarded with something more appealing like today (not talking about the leatherjacket). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK01 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I think that trag is actually a jew, isn't it. Oops! Oh well, still over the legal size so no harm done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp2 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good catch. Definitely a jew. 👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoods Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Well done. The purple on top & tail says Jew. You are lucky you caught the Jacket rather than losing your gear to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I lost a bit of gear to them but they weren’t too full on thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquidMarks Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I am going to have a guess here and say Jew. Im going of the convex tail, trags have concave tails i believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare to get jews reef bashing off Sydney I’m at port Macquarie. I’ve caught jew and trag in that spot before and it’s pretty common here. It’s definitely a jew. When I landed it I was more focused on its stomach hanging out of its mouth and thinking about how it looked like a giant tongue, and didn’t really pay attention to what the rest of the fish looked like 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
