I had decide to go for a fish in the maroochy river this day. I wanted to get on the water bye 2.30 at my first spot. I fished it till tide turned and fished it for and hour after with no attention. Nath new i was going fishing so he gave me a text asking how i was going which i then gave him a call and said to him he should come out in my boat with me .
(Which he did ) i had then moved to a favorite jack and jew spot. We where using live bait and sitting at the creek mouth i fish often when around 6.20ish bang naths on oh no it let go. We where chatting away again when bang hes on this time fight great as he was using 12lb line with unkown leader size the fish put up a great fight when landed it went 73cm not bad for his first jew ever caught. We then stayed out for another 2 hours with only yep you guest it "CATFISH" to entertain us. 2 of them where of decent size and weight. All In all it was great to put nath onto his first ever jew fish and it was a good way to top of is long day at work . Pictures below;D

Yeah Cam I was some what over joyed to say the least I have not fished for them before it certainly was a target species last night as well as a red devil or two but the jewie played the game, The little bass outfit was stretched a bit thoughand the first run was a little worring I thought the line was goooooonnnnee.
Oh what fun.. Now back to Barra
