benny 1 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Jewies like channels and bridges, or even better, a combination of both, it seems like ya know what you're doing. What sort of environments are ya fishing? (not after secret spots of course!) I am just curious as I can try to help out. Also are ya casting in close or far out at these spots? as mullies tend to feed along the edges of dropoffs/channels etc. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigfish 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 hey benny, i have fished the new marina in the port, pelican point, quarintine station, torrens island bridge, corner of the fishermans wharf, top of the port, birk bridge, tying my boat straight up on these areas and dropping baits straight down to the bottom and then lifting them up about 3 feet of the bottom, still with no luck ey, starts to hurt after this long with no return Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benny 1 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ah, I am in the same position as ya!, a good landbased spot is where bower road is where the water rushes out of the lake on the dropping tide, better spot after dark, I know there are jewies here as I have seen them caught, and have seen them swimming in the channel. And also when ya fish for them berley up heaps as it attracts the lil fish and brings the jewies out for a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benny 1 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 yeah, there are heaps of baitfish there, but the bait guys are annoying as they literally fish on the top of ya, i have success there when nobody else is fishing as the fish get scared off by the bait guys.
