Monster Jew in bay by lucky

[ddobson]

Shot out to some new ground with my mate who has pulled good fish every trip and i have only just got him on plastics but he,s taken to it like snapper to plastics. On first light at 4 30am high he gets a touch then a run then another long run then he,s hooked and the 3000 on a rack radder is off for a long doggid fight on a 7 inch pink shine berkley. He hooked him in top of lip so it wasnt getting off but pulling it to surface was a battle. After 3 attemps on the gaff i finally got him on board my boat. Another good fish from lucky. I am getting better at netting at least. I get him on the spots with tide, moon and spot and he catches them. Looks like i better bring him on the next fishing comp if i wanna score a place hah. We thought a good snapper uyntil it didnt stop after giving him some hurt for a while. It went about 1350mm long and weight was 17.2 kilos.

Nice catch, seen a few nice ones snagged of placcys lately on here.
I caught my best Mulloway on a Berkly worm and 1/20 jig, lip hooked just like that one ,so was not getting away on 10lb leader (90cm).

Though 1.3 m is quite a hefty fish, good effort.

Cheers

Netmaker - i will need to remember how to hook with plastics again after - Lucky - keeps hooking them before me so all i do is chase them, net em and take photos of em. I will remember how to do it once i fish solo a few times to give myself a chance. I need some comps so i can bring my new weapon (Lucky) but i never find out about them.

Rosco - Once you have a go on plastics you probably wont go back to smelly bait but what ever works and well done on finding the pelagics and hooking them.

TimD - Its good to use plastics and hook up amongst anchored bait boys so they send down good burley but each to there own eh.
