Terrigal Haven

Hey guys,

Went to Terrigal Haven today in the terrible weather. Was a fair few people out blackfishing. I got as far out on the Haven Point as I could without getting washed in and was flicking back in towards the Haven. I started off casting metals, a range of different sizes and colours, with not too much love. I saw a 30ish cm gar chasing one but that was it. Swapped over to a big soft plastic. After about ten casts, bang! After a great fight and getting dragged towards the rocks, I pulled in my first ever Jewie!!! I could not believe it. 

I measured him up and turns out he was 3cm undersized! Damn. I got the plastic out, got some photos and set him on his way. I've attached the photo for anyone who's interested. Kept trying for a little while longer but that was it.

One of the other guys near me caught something big, but whatever it was snapped his 50lb line...must've been my jewie's grandad.

I got there about 1:30pm, the tide was around full high at that time. I suppose it would have been about 3pm when I caught him, so 1.5 hours after full high.

Was a great buzz and I'm itching for another chance to get out there. Hoping to get a bigger one next time.

Hope you guys are catching the big ones

Cheers

You should have stuck around mate, you missed that bloke you were speaking to trying to fight an old fella chasing jews haha tempers are high in this weather!

I was the younger bloke with a black cap on chasing leaddies (with no luck) in the pocket, didn't realise you were a fellow raider! Couldnt believe it when you pulled it out of the water, I fish there at least 3 times a week and never seen one caught there so feel privileged ?

Hey Adsy, 

yeah I could see the two of them heating up. One of the guys was getting in real close and pretty much under his line.

I do remember seeing you there mate. It's good to see some other raiders on the coast. I will definitely be heading back out there soon so hopefully I'll see you there.

My mate that was with me when I caught the jewie has gone back out again today to see if he can bag a legal one!

Do you usually have much luck in that pocket? I pulled a 30cm bream from the wash on the pocket side of the boat ramp only about two weeks ago.

Cheers mate, chat soon
