Pickles Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Offered to give my biddy Steve a hand to finish off some skirting board on his new house. He said he’d had enough of building and did I want to take my tinny out and try for flathead and jewfish in Derrubbin. We launched at the new Wisemans ferry ramp and headed back to Webb’s creek. As the tide was coming up, we hunted along the sand/ mud banks at mouth of Webb’s and saw multiple flathead impressions, so went a bit deeper and bagged several nice Flatties. We then headed down stream looking for ripples on the sounder - past experience has shown flathead like this irregular bottom. Using prawns and strip bait of slimy mackerel from last bait collecting session, we bagged 31 (baby) jewfish as the pic shows. Biggest Jewie went 48cm and biggest Flatties went 49cm. Weather was great and conditions perfect - tomorrow looks even better (hoping to get out with Zoran ( @zmk1962) and Jerry ( @wrxhoon1) Edited March 2, 2023 by Pickles 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Jewfish are beautiful-looking fish. Seeing them around in numbers holds well for their future and the anglers chasing them. Good luck on your trip out with Zoran and Jerry. What rig were you using for the Jewfish Bob? bn Edited March 2, 2023 by big Neil more info...

I Had a wonderful day with Zoran and Jerry on Zoran’s new boat - an extremely impressive boat (and Raider - kind, generous and sharing, a “true human being” (like yourself).
