Noosa - MY FIRST JEWIE

[fincho]

After having this trip to look foward to during my exams and thinking about nothing else for the last couple of weeks i went up to noosa with the family on the 1st of July to the 6th. We fished sessions from 5am-8 10am-1 and 4pm-8 had a couple of late night sessions around munna point bridge but these only produced TINY tailor. Most days saw me my brother and my dad picking up a couple of bream small trevs and small flatties but we had one day that so far in my fishing is my best!! On the 2nd we headed over to Woods bay and started our morning session with a bang i got my best trev for the trip on my 2nd cast. The morning session produced a lot more trevs and thumper bream but it seemed every cast we were hooking up or our softies were getting smashed without hooking up. But the arvo of this day got me and my dad our first jewies. This session saw 2 jewies (both 65cm and about 2.15kg i know to some people this may seem pretty small to get this excited about but i couldnt believe it!!) 2 diamond trevally (both caught by my brother) my pb bream on softies (35cm to the fork) and heaps of bream from 26cm-28 come into the boat mostly released. Anyway after i had netted my dads first jewie i was casting like crazy trying to hook up to my own jewie after a few cast my softie was slammed aftere setting the hook the line screamed off out of my control and i was sure this would be my first jewie. After a 15 minutes of fight with the fish peeling off line with ease i got the jewie near the boat but this just started the circling. After a good and bloody nervous 5 minutes of running around the boat trying to keep up with this fish and not put too much pressure on him it was ready to be netted but still had a few jumps in it when my bro tried to net it which had my heart in my throat knowing my first jewie was just there but i could still screw it up but after a couple of attempts it was in the boat and i was going insane. Anyway a ripper session and a good trip all round. Most fish including the jewies were caught on 6lb fireline 6lb vanish and a watermelon 3" droppie. Sorry about the long report but im still pretty pumped. Will try to attach a few pics. ;D

Nemo i love the trevs too on that gear they're awesome fun!!

Its great to see the Noosa River still producing. I fished it a lot as a young fella and picked up all sorts of stuff including a 25lb Jew on a lure. I just wish we had the softies and stuff available today.
Good fish

Fincho,
I'll give you a yell at chrissy time when im up there, i know noosa very well, i go up around 3-4 times a year. And do lots of lure and live bait fishing, ive got a tonne of spots which i can show you. I know a 37 foot deep hole in noosa sound which ive seen jew get pulled from before.
Gimme a yell next time your up there, we stay in a house on the water on woods bay.
Cheers
Morty
