Not that I knew it at the time, but it turns out, that was my only chance at an upgrade in the Seadogs comp. Next day we started the trolling for the morning low for jack poop. So we made the call to head for the jew reef. Bashing into it, taking spray over the side getting wet. It was blowing easy 15kts and that and the swell all on our STBD bow... Good times 
We get out there and got a few small goldies that we threw back (except for one about 40cm) and I got 2 jewfish to 20cm. And no, there isnt a digit missing in that measurement We head back into a different spot to get the last part of the run in with a few threadys getting caught. We tried all the usual colours of Reidys lures I like to use but nothing. One boat asked us how we are going and I replied "we have got nothing" .... They said they have caught a few, and then the kid in the back bellows "I have caught 3". I could have thrown a snapper lead at him but I suppressed my inner demon and congratulated the young fella
I then replied a boat land a fish on a GNR colour. I quickly made a switch and bang, straight on Told Julie to change colour and then she was on with a similar sized fish but she didnt want a photoThe next day we banged them Fish were 80-100cm to the fork and caught about 15 (maybe more). We came up with a good release method too. Back up on them like we were onto a 1000lb black marlin, put the hurt on themThumb on the drag and give them the dont argue. Pulled a few hooks doing this but we didnt care losing a few. Keep them in the net and get a quick photo. Remove the hooks and straight onto the lip grips and out of the net and into the water. Obviously the quicker all this can be done the better. Quick swim and off the went
Top theady session indeed
