bschoer1@bigond.com Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi guys, Still a virgin on the Jewies after a few years chasing already! Is there anyone who would be good enough to offer a few tips on where to possibly pick up a couple in the hawkesbury area? Cheers, Mudcrab1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vara Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) I can’t offer any shore based spots. What I will say is that in my experience bait, if you are bait fishing, is everything. It must be fresh. I also find that bait caught in the area works best in those areas. Ie: I will do many trips chasing squid from the Hawkesbury to use in the Hawkesbury. I will always catch my pike or any other fish I may use including mullet in the area in the day. Edited July 21, 2018 by Vara Typos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingFishing Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hello Mudcrab There are plenty of top blokes on this site who will help you land your first jew. Unfortunately im not one of them as i dont really fish for them. What i will say is... in order to help you the guys will need more information from you.. jewfishing (or any other) is not just about location. What bait are you using? Are u land based or on a boat. What hook size and tackle u using? How do you present your bait? Fishing can be complex. And fishing for jews is by far the hardest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using fresh squid, yakka's (fillets), live mullet (when I can catch them). 10ft heavy beach rod (10 - 15kg) Snelled 5/0 or 6/0 two hook rig on 40 - 60lb leader. Land based.

tyrone07 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Go on Navionics/Google maps look for areas in the river where there are sharp bends, turns, points. Generally speaking due to the natural flow of water there will be a hole adjacent to where the water flows and is diverted in two directions gouged out by the natural flow of the water. If you focus your efforts around these areas around a tide change these would be your best bets. Not to sure how many are accessible from the shore in the Hawkes though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks tyrone07, Will give this a crack and post any results either way. This would work in most any system, so will try this in other areas as well. Cheers.?
