Moreton Bay jewie

01-10-2019, 08:59 AM

Caught this jewie fishing for mackerel on a shallow reef. Took a slowly retrieved whole pillie on a 3x6/0 gang at 9 am. Went 97 cm. Even more surprising was that I lost a bigger one around 115 cm 30 minutes earlier - got it to the boat but the gaff shot just clipped it and the hooks fell out. Got one school mackerel also - they were there early but buggered off.

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."
(Quotation from the rules of the Tuna Club Avalon, Santa Catalina, U.S.A.)
