Anyway good things to actually make it a report would be to give some more details like general area & maybe gear used, otherwise its something better posted in here- https://www.fishraider.com.au/forum/16-brag-board/ Reports are supposed to help out the rest of the community not just showcase your catch. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyGreek Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Nice fish man. I recently caught my first legal jewfish and it’s such a good feeling isn’t it? Well done 👍🏽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossyBoy Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hey guys yeh sorry for the brag with no info lol. basicly done a night session in Hawkesbury system on a sand bank. 3rd time fishing this location and between me and my mate 2 nice size Jew has been caught. I left my saltiga reel at home due to sand and opted for the Shimano bait runner. Boy did that reel run. Awesome reel. Took me a good five minutes to get this Jew in after a lot of runs. Great fight off the land. returned after a picture and swam away beautifully. The shark was also a great fight. I highly recommend them bait runners off the land. I was using 30lb braid with 50 lb Fluoro leader.. bit overkill but I’m new to Australia waters and I’ve heard there is some big fish out there. I was using full squid baits from a shop. So not fresh and still got a good nights worth of fish. there was a moment what had me abit gutted but as I picked up my rod on the left as it was getting a few little bites something nearly took the rod out my hands. I can’t believe the power/heavy of this take but my drag was too loose on the saltist reel and as I tried tightening the drag into it I didn’t keep the pressure on and it was off. This fish had to be a monster the way it pulled. As every fisherman has experienced “I would loved to know what that was” learn from your mistakes few little port Jackson’s came in aswell and a 60cm flathead cant wait to get back out and hopefully have another fight again. happy 🎣 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
