snag Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Woke up this morning at 4am to go for a quick session with Ian and Nicko, arrived at the spot just before 5am to see Ian waiting for me and Nicko no where to be seen no matter we decided to start without him. The tide didnt do us any favours when we started, as it was rock bottom, but we did manage some bream and lizards with the odd taylor thrown in. About 15mins before we decided to call it quits my reel started to scream and all i was thinking was dont go under the bridge, well it did but a quick tug and it was out thank god, but it didnt finish there, another bigger scream and my line ended up in the middle of the river and i turned to Ian and said its a jew, woooohooooo, after about 5mins of fighting and watching the rod bend and the real scream i got the jew to the bank. ian went in the water to help the jew out and we just looked at a great fighting fish. I was so stoked i was shaking for another 10 mins after id caught it, what a great morning. . Thanks ian again for helping me out and the session. Pic's to be posted after i finish work this afternoon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jocool Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Beautiful! Love those jewels down the side. Why is it that the smaller fish have the Jewels down their flanks, and the bigger ones don't???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snag Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Gotta love a good fighting jew. 29561[/snapback] Good fish man!! where did ya get him. I wouldn't mind hav'in a go there I didnt think jews was known as a "fight'n" fish. every thing i read recons jews a bit lazy fighters. fish like kings, tuna known as good fight'n fish. This right? never got a Jew. Never got no king or tuna too. So i dont no. 30053[/snapback] Hi Breamnut, Mate the smaller jews can go off espesially on light gear. Mate he was caught down near botany bay in one of the river systems, carnt say to much if you know what i mean. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
