Mate I would love a dollar for every hour I have chased jews. If possible, look for a gutter on low tide, they stand out more, so you know where you need to be when you hit the beach. I find my spot during the day, lucky to live and work on the coast, fresh squid caught that day and hit the beach as the sun is going down. I have success fishing when there is minimal tide movement.(smallest rise in the water from low to high) and near a headland if possible.On my local beach I have best success on the change of the tide, to high and the next 2 hours. Mate if you use FRESH bait, minimal tidal movement in a gutter near headland or rocky area at night you have to be in with more than half a chance ....... and did I mention shitloads of patients/persistence.

Have been catching some huge squid the last couple of weeks

Hi Zac, i chase squid at Terrigal around the haven and the rocks. Not good conditions at the moment. Cheers John

I find early morning, late arvo going dark with clear water to be the best time. I have never had much luck when its windy or strong current. Natural colours and yakka (look alike) jigs is all i use along with Egimax spray and catch plenty in the right conditions.Have never used bright colours, pinks etc. Also, where i squid which opens out to the ocean, if the water is stirred up and not clear after big seas i dont waste my time. Squid only have a short life span, spawn in warmer months and grow quick. There are plenty of big buggers around at the moment. Cheers

Well done mate. What beach did you fish? I have been hitting Wamby without any luck.

Thanks for the feedback, i currently use an egg beater but it seems the alvey is a popular choice. How are they for casting out big baits. The rod i recently got is a Diawa Surf tournament master 14foot which is a great rod. Cheers

Gday Raiders, Looking at buying a new beach reel and would love some feedback on some good options. Dont mind paying for quality gear. Mainly to chase jews off the beach. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers

Mate what a fish. I have also just bought a tinny that iam setting up myself, ready to go in a couple of weeks.I just hope i can also christen it the same way. Cheers

Gday everyone, Just wondering if any Central Coast Beach fishos have been catching much. More so at night for jews. Caught some fresh squid yesterday and heading out tonight and over the next few days leading up to new moon. Look forward to any feedback. Cheers

Gday, I live on the central coast and do alot of beach fishing ,definately no expert, but once i find a good gutter i will fish around 20-50mtr to the side of gutter.If current is running sth along beach i will be on nth side & vise versa. Thats the way i do it & i go ok. I generally only fish couple of hours either side of high, but any time is a good time to fish, having a line in the water is what its all about. Cheers

Gday mate, What have you been catching at Putty beach.I was there late Thursday for a few hours armed with fresh squid and caught nothing.

Gday Leo, Do you do any good with the jews during the day? Cheers John

Gday Leo, What have you been getting and where are you fishing. Cheers john

Gday Raiders, Just wandering if anyone has doing any good off the beaches lately in between all this weather? Looking at braving the cold over the next few nights. Cheers John

Gday Noel, Where abouts do you beach fish. I often go out on my own generally Wamby / Terrigal and do ok, but would like to try different spots.Still chasing that good jewy off beach. Cheers John
