Hey guys...well with the big southerly expected to come in this arvo we cancelled the browns trip last night just incase it came in earlier then planned.....Then Sal calls me and says lets go for a jew fish.....Me not being a great fan of fishing for jews says call john and see what he wants to do....I chatted to Jocool earlier and he informed me of his success and where it was.
John agrees and i get a call back saying we will pick you up at 1.30am...
They pick me up and Sal, John and Mark are ready to go, Mark has been dying to catch a jew and has high hopes tonight...
Anyway we hit the water around 2.30am and head to the spit to get some yakkas and squid....we pick up 1 squid and 2 x XOS yakkas in an hour and a half.....then we back towards Jo's spot to drop the baits down and see what happens...
We drop the baits down at about 4.30am and me,sal and john all crash in the cabin as Mark watches the rods like a hawk...
At 5.00am all we hear is....im on...im on......
We bounce up to see he is fighting a fish....the rod with the live yakka on it.....He fights the fish then hands it to john to also enjoy and we boat a not bad size jew....nothing big but it is weighed in at 7.5kg.....didnt have a brag mat for measurement.....
30 minutes and one jew...not bad....not too hard i say and Mark is over the moon that he has broken his virginity with jews...Me and sal look at each other and say...bring back the kings....we were reminded again at how easily a jew fish is beaten in a fight......took only 1 minte to bing on board....... reckon a 7.5kg king would have ruined my back before coming on board.......
we stayed till 6.00am and had 2 more hits for zero hook ups and then we decided to come home as we were freezing and the westerly was picking up..2 hours of Jewfishing is enough for me in 2007....boat packed away and back home...Good little session and just glad to get on the water.
