Jew and wintering whitting

[timddo]

With commitments booked today and tomorrow ( birthday party) I had an opening between morning till 2pm. Had a few things do to in the morning so it was a 9am start.

Headed to whyte island ramp and the carpark was full, even the grass parking was full. Anyway i found a place to park and headed towards the mouth of the river to chase some live bait, hmm no bait except 1 mullet.

Headed around the rock wall and there were boats everywhe.re. Caught a few diver whitting and headed back in the river. Boats were lined up like a carpark near boggy creek.

Anchored at my secret spot and deployed my only live bait and a few dead bait. 1/2 an hour pass and nothing, . Told my boy we gotta leave in 1/2 hr and 15 minutes later the rod buckles and lines start to peel and up comes a jewy at around 95cm. Headed home. Seems like jews are everywhere in the river

Lovely fish. I gotta say that its looking fisheries got it right with the much increased size limit. A year or two later there are some good fish starting to show up where there were only ever small ones caught.

Well done. How do you prefer to rig your live bait? Single hook through the shoulder or throught the nose with a stinger?

Thats a great fish to pull from the River. Hopefully there will be many more to come in the future

Just a single hook. Size 10. Like an offshore rigg.

nice fish, this is the one my mate caught yesterday in the pine river. 85cm and 6.3kilos. We were just flicking soft plastics around when this fish decided to latch on and had my mates rod nearly spooled, so had to quickly fire up the motor and go chasing the fish. all this was done with only 6 pound braid. When the fish took off it had him down to the backing which was only 4 pound. never seen one in my life before.
