From what I have gleaned from reports and photos of soft plastic caught Jew they are nearly always caught on a paddle tailed shad of some description. Colour does not seem to be a factor as there arent too many with same colours mounted in the gobs of the fish. Mostly they seem to be 4" or 5" shads.
I'll mainly be in a boat behind an enclosed swimming area. So far I have caught bream, trevally and tailor around the netting, and I have seen guys catch cod, but I think there has only been one Jew fish caught there.
My brother got one on a 130mm squidgy paddletail in black and gold the other day. But yeah do a search as suggested, there's been a few posted up, and not just in the estuary/bay section, check out flick flacks monster in the offshore reports too.
Stick baits, shad or fish shapes in the 4 to 6 inch size. Colour not so important, but suiting the jig hook and weight to the coditions very inportant.
