Hi all,
Have been away O/S for the past week so didn't get a chance to post. Had the day off on Friday 28th and decided I'd do a solo trip to Harrys early morning so set the alarm for 4am. Checked seabreeze when I woke up and it was hammering 20 knots at inner beacon so decided I'd sleep in for another half hour. checked again after another 30 mins and still the same. Checked again every 30 mins until about 8am until I realised that the seabreeze graph had frozen at 3am and was looking at the same image the whole time.. bugger.. Anyway checked BOM and saw it was under 10 knots and decided to head out for the 1:30pm tide change so had the boat in the water at Cleveland by 11am.
Was deadsticking some Z-man plastics on Bazza's 3/8 oz jigheads and had my lighter 2-5kg rod with 15lb braid, zman 5" streakz plastic on Luvias 3012 reel in my hand when suddenly the rod buckled and I could tell I had a decent fish on.
After a good fight for 5-10 mins I managed to raise a shiny 95cm Jewie and surprisingly netted it solo without too many issues.
Took it home for a good feed and weighed it, coming in at exactly 7.5kg. Was pretty stoked as this was my second jewie ever, with the other one being caught out at Peel only a month or two ago that went 92cm so new PB!
Got it all on the GoPro so once I've finished editing I'll upload for all to see.
Cheers
