Nugget,
Congrats on the Jew win mate.
I spent three days at the Pin trying to ctach one a couple of weeks back and failed miserably.
Don't give away too much but what's your technique. Are you a sandworm jew fisherman or a flesh bait.
Just wondering
Bugman

Hi Bugman - I have to give the credit to some lessons I had from fellow Bush 'N Beach contributor Tye Porter.
Tye has been live baiting the surf in northern NSW for quite a while and his success is phenomenal.
I've tried the technique unsuccessfully in the past but Tye showed me the secrets and more importantly what I was doing wrong (using too small a mullet).
I'm hoping his next article in BNB will go into detail on the techniques.
I'm yet to see anyone in Qld doing it - and my first efforts last weekend during the King of the Pin comp were amazing - 6 jew to 16.5 kg - all caught within four hours of each other.

Cheers for now.

Bl*%#dy Hell Dave, when my good mate Brad Bernard sees this report with his name mispelt, he'll be cranky. That was a big effort for Brad, and He says he done quiet well in the Flathead area as well.

He also has to thank you for your June BnB report on the Pin area. He's been donging large bream down there thanks to you.

Buy the way, Brads in the Tyre game, so should the need arise, give me a tingle here and we''ll assist.

Hi Phil - As I wasn't on the KOTP committee this year, my only source of results was the "on stage blackboard" which typically spells names wrong and quite often only has initials.
I had a chat to Brad at the weigh-in and he seemed like a great bloke – freely giving details of his great catch.
My apologies to Brad and I will fix up the spelling of his name straight away.
