quintrex52 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Did our annual April trip to Port Stephens in anticipation of catching some jewfish, snapper and possible longtail tuna. We had failed the past two seasons with tuna due to the big down pours we had around the Easter break, so this year decided to go after the second week of the school holidays so history wouldn’t repeat. But what a bad decision it was with guys catching longtail left right and centre from the intel I got from Scratchie . Not all was lost though.. I did a jewfish session on Saturday up in the bay which resulted in two huge Jew which both went 120+cm a new PB for myself😋 both were captured on live slimies an hour either side of the tide change. With so much fish and the new jewfish bag limits we left them biting Then on Monday meet up with @Scratchie who was sick as a dog from a bad flu 🤧 but the good bloke he is he battled on and came out. The idea was to head to Broughton for some snapper action but the southerly 2.3m swell put a stop to that quick smart So plan B was to hide behind Fingal and try a few spot around there but there was an infestation of red weed. Then went back to shoal bay for a flathead flick on sp but after half and hour we agreed to go back up ramp and spend some time with the family as it was last days of school holidays also Jeff was in urgent need of some coldrals. We then tried an evening Jew sesh but only got hassled by squid eat our livies along with tangles and wobigong shark. Still a memorable trip and can’t wait till June for @Scratchie snapper meet with the raiders. Till the next post tight line raiders Edited July 16, 2019 by quintrex52 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoingFishing Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Those are some cracking fish mate well done. It's pretty much safe to say that if your fishing in Port Stephens you must chat to @Scratchie first. And an absolutely selfless fisho he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
