Jay88 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Hey guys..hope you are all well...so after spending roughly 20 hours a week...getting out of the office at 5pm...rigging up and gearin the car (to save as much time possible, as I dont have a boat and its all land based for me)...and just going home to change and return for dinner at 12am...I finally caught a jew from Gladesville.Had dead yakka out..after the live bait died...had drag down...was fishing on my smaller setup on the other side of the rocks I was on and BOOM i hear my 8000 reel just let lose.. my mate grabbed the rod...tightened drag and i let it rip. Head shakes everywhere...i knew it wasnt a big one...as i have watched hours of Youtube videos on how a jew hits bait.Honestly. ..stoked. Had a 12ft rod out...30lb leader and 20lb mono main..backed by a 8000 reel with around 300 meteres on it..people.laughed when i would walk around with that..but id rather be over prepared than under prepared.Im only fishing for a couple months..so.i just wanted to bbe ready for that day my reel screams off.I also caught my record best Bream at 45cmThank you Tag for all advice and the lessons I get from you regularly.

Scratchie Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Congrats jay. By the sounds of it you've worked hard on your skills and listen to much advice on Fishraider.

Scratchie Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Good luck to you Jay! And by the way, congrats on the Jew too! They seem to be everywhere in the Parra river atm. People are catching them from boats, kayaks and land based. Good time to be down that way! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
