Rigging for Jewfish bait catching tips and tips on hunting for Jew

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

Thank you for this, most informative. For night fishing, consider running a strip of red LED tape under and along the lip of your gunnel. It gives you heaps of working light but does not ruin your night vision at all.

Good idea mate 👍

Great vid mate, love the way how you respected and returned the fish, top shelf

Awesome video great instructions and presentation love the down to earth delivery.

[@jarbellajc]

Great video. Would you be able to take a photo of the leader to main line so I can see how the swivel runs on it with the lumo bead?

[@markcras8508]

Just put the bead on so it slides down to the hook but if i am using a dual hook rig i will put the lumo bead inbetween the 2 hooks.

great tips, thanks for sharing!

[@michaellentern475]

Love your style mate. Enjoy your views. Would like to see how you attach the bridle rig to the livey.

[@aussfish9995]

Thanks mate you’ll see it on my video I think it’s called using circle hooks for Jew fish tips and rigging

Great info Dave,cheers 😎👍

Great tips, how do you get the cable-tie through the nose of the live bait without out killing it? Thanks Rob

[@aussfish9995]

I just use a small cable tie it slides through straight in front of the eye ball,s doesn’t hurt them swim for hours

[@aussfish9995]

They would be good I got a good fish a couple of days ago on a silver trevally they will smash all sorts of things

[@hookinmouthtackle8508]

@@aussfish9995 Sweet, your videos inspired me to start hunting Jews again, haven't done it since I was a teenager in the early 90's. Been working on my mullet skills over the last month in preparation.

[@aussfish9995]

That will come in very handy indeed 👊👊

[@johnloudon2396]

Very informative,going to try your rig set next time I head out.....what was the patten of the J hooks fishos used on the Jewies.?

[@leemccullough558]

Its a j shape rather thao a circle which goes back on itself and the point is back to toward the curve big difference circle increases the inertia strike rate i find with flathead thek can be hard to remove hence they are more effective the j like the letter is old school still works but srike rate is reduced i got a circle hook in my finger and it went in and wouldnt come.out so after an hour of manipulation i managed to remove it i have had j hooks in me as well and you just push them through and cut them off but the circle once its in its in and i am ann ex medic so i know what to do i hope this helps explaim in graphic detail the big difference side of jaw for circle and swallow or right down throat for j hook but at that you run the risk of being bitten off especially by flathead a better catch rate with circle less chance of losing the big one regarfs 😊😊😊

[@wizardnebula8572]

Cool video, I was just wondering if it matters which way the circle hook is facing?

[@spearandfish8620]

Love your clips and thanks for the tips, just to double check it is your sinker that slides on the main line isn’t it?

[@aussfish9995]

Yes mate sliding sinker rig 👊

[@kendimizekadarbalk]

Good job👌

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

for catching bait why not use a Okuma Sabiki Bait Jig Spin Rod?

[@aussfish9995]

Yeah you could absolutely, all my sabaki rigs are rigged and on foam blokes that I keep in plastic resealable bags. I tie them on put them away when I finish collecting bait. Wash them the next day and I’ll get about 3 trips out of them. But yeah a Sabaki rod would work well thanks for the tip tight lines Dave 👊

[@jefflouis5658]

I read barometric pressure affects the fishes swim bladder which can give them like a stomach ache that can turn them off eating. We know so little about our fish and finding info out from the scientists can be very challenging.

[@aussfish9995]

It’s a bit contentious the idea of barometric pressure and how it effects fish. I read quite a few scientific papers on the subject and the scientists were of the view that’s it’s impossible for fish to feel changes in barometric pressure given the volume’s of water and depths they swim and hold at. It’s interesting it’s possible it’s just a myth that a lot of fisherman believe in. Perhaps a bit like moon phase ?

[@leemccullough558]

Moon phase affects prawns andother speeecies e.g crabs shed on the moon to grow so this food source is not the same as it would be available in the dark of the moon prawns will bury up on the rising moon and bob when it passes into the western sky to prove this when we trawled broken bay the prawns would not come on till the moon had gone behind the western hill so fish will look for food then but when the moon is full its difficult to catch prawns but some old blokes catch jews on the moon so go figure 😀😀😊😊

[@aussfish9995]

😂😂 I use fresh bait, good rigs, balanced outfits and fish the migration lines that the Jew travel up and down the River and put the time in. That’s what works for me 👍

[@leemccullough558]

@@aussfish9995 yes i agree but how did you find the migration lines in the first place and as fish move around every day to to the food source travel up and down is it on the same lines or are there new fish coming on those lines too and yes the choice of bait is important ....then you also get the lure guy who is also successful so..........😊😊regards leeroy 😊

[@fazefatcow2357]

Been out a few times for the Jewfish just can’t seem to hit them

[@aussfish9995]

Keep trying mate takes a few fish to build up your confidence you’ll hit one soon tight lines

Cheers mate nice video really sums up everything nicely

[@mrsbradpittiful]

Patonosta rigs with two hooks are a fuckin punish. No stop tangles 😡 Good Video pal. Thanks for the info

[@aussfish9995]

😂😂 I’ll soon find out my mate only ever used that rig he was a fucking weapon at catching jewfish.

Mate...can Jewfish be farmed?

[@aussfish9995]

Absolutely many River systems in Australia are regularly stocked with juvenile Jewfish breed as a result of aquaculture

[@Wazza722]

How come you don’t use braid?

[@aussfish9995]

I just love the feel of mono, it’s very forgiving on the head shakes of Jewfish, plus it’s way cheaper and gives an excellent hook up rate. I use mono on the Beach and when I’m float lining Snapper
