Spearfishing Big Jew

James Sakker and Paul Sleeman hunt the big Jewfish with success. Bonus footage of schools of small Jewfish

[@jamessakker2117]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. I got a 28kg on video the other day best for the season so far! Another big Jew video coming on Saturday…

[@CameronSmithDiving]

Another couple of monster Jewish! Nicely done! Such an awesome looking fish.

[@EthanYeo1]

NSW the jewfish capital! Incredible fish, I love how broad their shoulders get when they get to that size!

[@jamessakker2117]

Yeah they have a real presence in the water. Check out the massive school in the next video out today. Fish from 7 metres all the way to 16 metres with some over 30kg

Great video James - the jewies have just arrived back inshore down here this week - the warm water has just arrived. Favourite time of year.

[@jamessakker2117]

Awesome where are you guys? The Jew definitely start later the further south you are port Stephens was always best in March where they are gone here. In terms of spawning aggregations

[@TrailerYacht]

@@jamessakker2117 - We're based in Lake Macquarie. The Hunter river provides quality jewies year round down here, but I prefer them off the beach as they taste better.

I hear the best place to catch a big jew is the tunnels in NYC

[@catchitgrowitcookit]

Haven't asked for a long time what do people want to see? Leave a message and i'll do my best..

[@danielbeau2991]

Some offshore stuff would be cool, like wahoo, dolphin fish and blue water Spanish.

[@jamessakker2117]

Thanks mate not easy for me with a small boat. Appreciate you taking the time to comment

[@Jameswilliams-dt5eu]

Longer swim shore dives. The ones you go for Spanish etc and what you look in regards to conds for it all to line

[@CameronSmithDiving]

Keep doing what you do! I don't jump on here too often, but always enjoy watching your footage.

[@jamessakker2117]

@@Jameswilliams-dt5eu thanks James really appreciate the feedback. Hopefully I can do some bigger swims once everything clears up

[@Timbuctoo]

Very nice. Wet up here now so no chance. Keen as to get out and find the black version. Cape Palmo might be worth a trip.

[@jamessakker2117]

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it! I got my biggest for the season so far the other day 28kg had 33 slimy mackerel in it

[@Timbuctoo]

@@jamessakker2117 that's huge. Hope you got it on video. We'll be doing so coastal scouting one Barra season kicks off and the weather settles down, hopefully we get a Jew as well.

[@jamessakker2117]

@@Timbuctoo good luck hope you smash it

[@fishhunter348]

Awesome mate! Do you find any of these spots shore diving or are they spots you've sounded up? Im in north Queensland (Townsville) n jealous of the shore dives you can do down there!

[@jamessakker2117]

Most of my Jew spots are shore diving spots. Unlike black Jew our Jew hate boat noise and especially anchors and chain. When boat diving for them we will anchor 100 meters away. I do heaps of shore diving and use landmarks to go back to the same spots. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love diving the tropics especially Bowen where you can shore dive even though most of it is out of the boat

[@smellyvalley]

Dam I thought this had something to do with ww2

[@kcunder2571]

Love your content mate, been watching for a long time. Mate I'm up to my 110th hour looking for jew on the central coast. About to move to grafton so my efforts continue east of my new address 😂

[@jamessakker2117]

Thanks very much glad you enjoy it!! You will get a lot more chances up here than the central coast for sure!! Plus you can chase the Spanish cobia and great reef fish. If you haven’t already check out my how to spear Jewfish video it will help you. Good luck and let me know when you get your first one

[@bradsmith9496]

Nice. Water is poo here at Wooli. Hopefully it clears up soon.

[@jamessakker2117]

@@bradsmith9496I heard it was bad all the way to the fad

[@kcunder2571]

@jamessakker2117 Mate I've seen them all, some a few times than twice. I'll definitely be looking forward to sharing the photo of the fish and the plate it ends up on 🤙

[@jamessakker2117]

I could but I’m hanging out for something big
