A few nice Jewfish caught around Sydney recently, Tom Uglys bridge one of the spots fished over the weekend.

Andi recently threw around an Athlete 9JM rigged with assist hooks off Bass Point for a massive haul of Tailor and Bonito. They’re such a great lure for rock fishing because of their really heavy weight, at only 90mm long they weigh a massive 33g, which means they cast further than 99% of lures every day of the week!

Mud Crabs and Blue Swimmers are pretty hot in Lake Illawarra at the moment. A customer also brought in two Mud Crab shells yesterday and they were real big.

Shellharbour Harbour has been producing some nice Squid around the edges.
