Rummers Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 G’day Raiders, I have been hunting jewfish like a man possessed lately and spending a lot of time researching and then trying to put it into practice. Unfortunately I am still on the donut (about 3 months now 😳😩). Headed out about 5am this morning, as there was some swell out front I followed Scratchies advice and caught some good sized yakkas in shoal bay. Perfect - morning started off well. Headed back to middle island to fish an hour either side of low for Jew. As I was pretty early still I decided to chuck a plastic around for a flat head. No flatties but got a tailor at 32cm who lived to fight another day. Then sat at middle island just up off the hole for 2 hours for not even a touch. Bloody livies are probably still alive swimming around the bay 😂 Will have another crack through the week but the way I’m fishing I’ll be lucky to have a Jew by 2030 😂 Thanks for the bait spot Scratchie. Will be my go too when it’s rough out front I rekon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smobaby Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 That's why they are called the elusive Jew. Once you work them out they will come. Mix your baits squid, prawns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Like most fishing Rummers, catching a monster fish is all about time on the water. Although with Jew fish it’s even more time out there. Glad I could help with a livie spot. Keep getting out there and will look forward to your jewfish report! cheers scratchie!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restyle Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 one day you'll be blessed with that slab of silver. Should try and get a few fresh squid down there as well. If you can keep them alive, even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61 crusher Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Don’t worry many a person including myself have been possessed by the elusive silver ghost with many a sleepless night & at least you’ve done some research, keep researching & spending time out there chasing them & you’ll hopefully get one sooner rather than later & possibly crack the code 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
