queensland lil coomera jew..

[wesfish]

well after being sick this morning and un able to work , i spent the day at home resting and having a sleep. until about 3pm i decided enough of sitting around and i loaded the boat up and headed down the coomera. i trolled for about half an hour without a result, i noticed the bait schools every where and decided its time to throw the cast net. 2 cast later and i had 4 mullet and a heap of herring. so i dropped anchor on top of a massive bait school on the sounder and deployed a mullet for sharks on the heavy rod and a herring on a new live fibre blade 4kg baitcaster rod i picked up for 50 bucks from stash converters , un used brand new!! i all so picked up a abu baitcaster for 29 bucks and threw it on the rod and spooled it up with 4kg pretest. while i waited for the lives to go off i flicked some soft plastics and a chrome slug around for zero result. after about ten minutes the new rod buckled over , after a nice lil fight i boated a 55cm lil jewie :woohoo: woohoo i had broken the drought after 4 dud trips over the last month . all though not a big fish it was still good to get a battle ,a few quick pics and i put the lil fella back. a reset another herring and ten minutes later i got another run and a short battle before pulling the herring out of its gob some nice lil teeth marks like that of another jew. it was dark by now and i called it quits and headed home...

cheers

Well done Wes! Nice little fish.

top little jew wes. so the new rod has good mojo ay!

[wesfish]

it sure does now lol !!! its a great rod cant wait to use it some more!!!

[Scope]

Hey nice fish, loving the bargain-hunted hardware too!

[wesfish]

cheers , the reel had a big birds nest of light braid on it and did not look appealing ,but a quick clean up and new line and bobs your uncle , its smooth and cast great and in pretty good condition. and the rod was a great catch at that price in new condition

[Cowfish13]

Pretty solid fish! Good catch, havn't managed to snag one of those around Brisbane yet

Hey Wes,

you sick and unable to work in the morning but still get to fish in the afternoon...?

Cool, man!

[superstryda]

Thats the spirit, too sick for work but ok to fish, nice work.

[wesfish]

lol well after a good rest and sleep there was no reason to let an arvo session slip by

Well done nice fish. Best part about cash converters is you can buy a rod or reel and you have 21 days to try it out, if no good you can take it back.

Nice catch. The best thing about Cashies is they have no idea how much stuff is worth. I got a Abu baitcaster a couple of years back in near new condition it was worth about £150 new and I got it for $40.

[Feral]

Never thought of looking at stash converters, for fishing gear, everything else they sell is so overpriced.

Good looking fish mate, very healthy looking.

I like Jewies, they are a great predator fish.

cheers
