hi all,
went down to my 'secret' spot in the hawkesbury to target the almighty jews 2nite with my mates
expectations werent high as these little buggers so frustrating to target sometimes.
but somewhat, i had a good feeling; today i went and bought $5 worth of FRESH! slimies as bait @ $3.99 a kilo, got me 7 decent sized slimies = 14 fillets
arrived at our spot at 10pm, JUST in time for high tide @ 1.57metres
first bait in water around 10:30pm,
rod struck at 11:30pm (first hr after HIGH TIDE) and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz she went lol, cheers were being yelled whilst adrenalin was pumping, then up came a 47cm soapie hahaha
i don't care what anyone says, it's a legal landbased jewie and we did it!!
we had HEAPS of hits but no hook ups, left at around 3am, definitely satisfied with results, and definitely will return!!
bait: fresh filleted slimy mackarel
hooks: 4/0 gamakatsu octopus
spot: hawkesbury
time: 10pm-3am
we also caught a port jackson shark (ugly lil thing) released it, a 40cm tailor, and 2x20cm yakkas which we put 1 out as livie but it escaped lol
enjoy!
