The Sarge

Hi guys. Just on the subject of artificial reefs in the bay or any reef for that matter. Where is the best place to get hold of some maps of the bay and the Georges River? Im picking my boat up in a week and it is fitted with a G.P.S so I want to put it to good use.Also would these maps so the places I here people talking about on here such as the Fads ?? Regards, Glenn.

Nice days work. I was down there about 2 weeks ago fishing from the shore where the old boat shed used to be and on every cast we got snaged. I couldnt believe it I couldnt see anything in the water, although it does drop off quite quick. There was also about 5 people snorkelling in that spot so that didnt help matters.

Gday, you wouldnt believe it I came on here to ask that exact same question Scotty. I have heard this quite alot and I guess if you think about it, it does make sense. The large amount of constant rain we have had recently would definately dilute the water. Not to mention the clarity of the water. As a train driver I cross over the Georges River at different locations. Today I went over the East Hills rail bridge and the water looked like a clay pan. I later went past Liverpool weir and the water that was pouring from there also looked like pure clay. Looks like I wont bother fishing for some time yet. Glenn.

Hi all I am new to this forum so I am here to tell you a little about myself. I was a keen fisho during the 90s but as family commitmants took over the boat was sold and fishing took a back seat. Over the last 12 months my passion has started to grow again and as such I have been doing some land based fishing. I have just purchased a boat as the fishing bug has bitten pretty hard once again. I love fishing the Georges River and Bay area as I love the scenary along the river and the variety of fish the Bay has to offer. I am 38 years old with 3 kids and I work in the public transport sector (dont hold that against me).I live in the Picton area of N.S.W so I dont have too far to travel to get into some fishing. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing stories.Glenn.

Hi all, im new to this forum but have absolutely loved what I have read so far.I was heavily into fishing during the 90s going out nearly every weekend with my dad into Botany Bay but not really targeting any particular species although we did have a soft spot for Flathead. Towards the end of the 90s I started targeting Jews without a great deal of success,until one day myself and 3 mates caught 3 each within the space of 20 minutes at Bald Face Point in the Georges River. Now they where only around 60-70cms but they faught like nothing I had ever caught before. The way they just smash the bait and run was something to behold,the rush I got along with my 2 best mates on that day is something I will never forget.The thing was that everything I had read previously didnt coincide with the conditions on the day we actually caught our first Jews. If I remember correctly it was about 8.30am on the bottom of the tide and a new moon phase, the only thing that we had in our favour ( from what I understood at the time) was that we where fishing at a known Jew spot.I was always under the impression that you could only catch Jew at night on a run in tide in the 7 days prior to a full moon and a couple of days after.I should also mention we where (and still are) very inexperienced fishos, at the time we where using prawns as bait and thats it.From that day(sometime in 98) until 2000 all I could think about was my next Jew. In 2000 it was time to sell my boat as we where buying our first house and starting our family,although I still hadnt hooked another Jew.Long story short its 12 years on I now have a new wife 2 new kids and a new passion for fishing, in particular Jews.I have been land base fishing over the past year but as my dad is my major fishing buddy he finds it hard to negotiate rocks and so forth as he's getting older so I am now the proud owner of a 17ft Nautiglass half cab with 120hp Mercury.From what I have read on this forum I still have alot to learn but I have a feeling I have come to the right place. One thing I can assure all of you I will sit and read as much information on Jews as my brain can handle and have decided that its time to get more serious, put in the extra effort and catch my own live bait.I must say that the information I have gained from these preceding pages has really opened my eyes as to how little knowledge I previously had.Once again I am obsessed with the thought of a big Jew on the end of my line and look forward to posting my first catch on this forum sometime in the near future hopefully. I look forward to getting to know you all better, sharing stories and gaining information and knowledge from you all. Tight lines, Glenn.
