Three spots to try for Jew.

1st:- The end of the Manning Piont Break Wall. The tide has created two large holes here. Big back eddies form depending on the tide. The ocean side is the deepest and shoud be fished towards the end of the run out tide.

2nd:-Not that easy to find. On the Harrinton side of the river approximately 1kl up stream from the channel entry into Harrington and 60M from shore is a hole the locals call Chinamans. If you have sounder you should be able to find it.

3rd:-About 1kl upstream from where the Lansdown River meets the Manning there is marker that is nearly in the middle of river but slightly south of centre. This marker is called the Bouy. It marks a sunken barge that was full of stone from when the walls were constructed. The tide has gouged out holes around this and Jew lay in them.

The mud flat near manning piont is great flathead spot. But another place where I have had a lot of success is further upstream. Around the bend in the river from the entrance to the oyster bay on the Harrington side is a large mud bank. A great deal of it is full of oyster racks. Where the oyster leases finish is a weed bed and then this mud flat continues out about 50 metres. A low tide there is about 1.5 meters of water. Fish this area at the end of the run out or the beginning of the run in.

Good luck

Forgot to mention mate, Best offshore access is from Crowdy Head Boat harbour about 10 minutes Nrth Off Harrington. Only crazy bastards try and get out through the Manning *cough*cough* lol

MILLER,

AS HAVING GROWN UP IN TAREE I HAVENT HEARD ABOUT A LOT OF JEW FISH BEING CAUGHT IN THE MANNING, BUT IF YOU ARE LAND BASED I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO HAVE A GO OFF THE BRIDGE AT CUNDLETOWN OR EVEN HAVE A GO OFF THE BEACH OUT AT OLD BAR WHICH IS A SHORT DRIVE FROM TAREE,MORE DOWN TOWARDS THE WALLABY POINT END YOU CAN USUALLY FIND A GUTTER WELL WITHIN CASTING DISTANCE OFF THE BEACH.JUST A THOUGHT ANYWAY, IF YOU TAKE YOUR BOAT AND YOU WANTED TO TRY IN THE RIVER I WOULD PUT IN AT KFC BOAT RAMP AND HEAD DOWN THE RIVER TOWARDS MANNING POINT FOR ABOUT 1 KILOMETER AND ON THE BACK SIDE OF DUMERIQUE ISLAND ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE RIVER JUST BEFORE THE HIGHWAY BRIDGE THERE IS A COUPLE OF DEEP HOLES THERE THAT I KNOW HOLD SOME BIG FISH OR USED TOO. HOPE THIS HELPS.
