Finally legal jew

[brisbane_boy]

Hit the river up tonight was having a general thrash at anything keen to belt a lure with the man in form with the battler rod, i got a lesson in catching jew as they have been to hard to pull of a legal size lately, 2 cans in dan was tight to a good fish on his lumo green thing so im on net duties and up comes a lovely golden jewy, smidgen under 80 on the ruler, after releasing a heap of his mates in the 40-74cm range for a good few months it was his unlucky day, we left before i evened the score. boat had a strong jewie smell as we headed for home could get used to that.

nice one, its good to see a legal one, now i know what they look like!!! its annoying when there are so many around just under legal size but i think raising the size has been a good thing , in a couple of years the average size should be 80-90cm cant wait for that

Good to see a legal size fish. There seems to be plenty of soapies around so hopefully this sort of fish will be more common in years to come

Nice one.

I love that stinky Jew smell.

cheers guys he fought hard and almost had me done for at one point. One thing i have noticed is that the average size of the soapies i've been getting has been going up, the same time last year i was getting heaps of rats 40-50cm, now alot of the fish are 60-70cm.

I dunno if thats anything but luck or my mind making things up but maybe the new legislation is taking effect already

excellent !!!!! I have not smelt the jew in a while ....... time to do some targetting me thinks.
Will try for some tailor after work ..... then have a few fillets for jew-bait on the weekend ...... will keep you guys posted.

nice catch brother, gotta be stoked with that.

been a while since I have seen a legal Jew!!
you are not wrong about the soapies currently around the place..
heaps at the pin , have heard of over 30 being caught in the past fortnight
with none able to be kept..
lets hope they get a chance to reach the new legal size as I know of certain fishos that are still keeping them at the old size!!
