PB Jewie

With all the reports and pics of jew being caught lately, I thought i might try some different methods to my plastic fishing. I usually fish for snapper and drift reef edges casting jerkbaits with a second plastic deadsticking out the back of the boat with the rod in a rod holder.

Yesterday i wanted to target Jewies, so I used a Salt water Assasin 4 inch paddletale (pink back with slver glitter sides). I know a lot of the Jew being caught in the Brisy river come from along the rock walls, so i fished one of the rocky outcrops, it was only 12 feet deep. I landed a small tailor around 30cm, released that and the next cast got smacked as i hopped the lure off the bottom, it pulled a bit of line and ran around the boat, i was thinking this is a good tailor and a Jew comes up.
Not a huge one but i have only ever caught 3 others all under 40cm, this one went 60cm. Now i'm thinking i need to get down the river and try for a legal specimen.

Good start to the brissy jewies Marty, Another 200-300mm on them and they pull alright. Haven't pulled an undersized one from the brissy since the flood myself,must be where i'm fishing! Ben

Thanks Blooey, this one was from Redcliffe. I'm hoping to get down the river this week end and have a go at them.
