Hey Chris, this is the sort of 'rolling' action I've been working towards:

Hey Chris, They are fished from the Breakwalls and Rocky Headlands around Yamba. But not necessarily in deep water, I know a lot of hits are over shallow rubble or in close to the rocks.

Look for areas of back eddys, and current breaks inside the walls. Or foamy water on the headlands.

When the mullet run is on is the go, like right now.

Cheers,

Matt

Both are urethane and run pretty shallow, body around 170mm.

Mick actually likes fishing them very slow across/against the current on an outgoing tide - so they are almost a wakebait.

Good luck,

Matt

what depth of water does Mick fish them in Matt?,some good info here

The lure you ask ???

A plain and simple chrome headed red and white feather in 3 or 4 ounce and a single hook.

Yes in the dirty brown water - the red zone was the water line between the dirty and the clear.

similar to this


So maybe a red n white qantas rapala would fit the bill

Colour depends on conditions, ie floodwater .
Illusion and Outlaw lures worked well around Ballina/Byron.

I grew up in bonny Hills, and would say DITTO for the camden haven river, lead head red and white feathers did the trick in floods.

I don't think that a jewie lure has to have a particular action (says somebody who has only been hit once by one with a timberConfused). That assumption is going on by what I have seen them caught on, from surface right down to murray cod lures. I think that the main thing is the size for the area - match the hatch on the likely food source. 

Colourwise - Dizzy Borg liked red, I have seen many shop bought lures re-painted black, Wal's Illusion lures are green and brown with a whitish belly, and my hit was on a Kuttafurra 140 in pilchard colours.

Martin-

you don't havta be pretty to fish

Great question Chris.

I've got two big prototypes on the go that I'm currently trialling action wise however I'm in the same boat as you. I've only ever got them on plastics and am yet to target them with timber. Colour wise I will definitely be going silver scales mixed with brown, green and grey. Seems the default option given the bait colours around.

Good topic

Cheers,

Danny

on the weekend I bumped into some guys in Ballina who'd just caught an 8kg jew fishing the rockwalls with scorpions,of course now my fishing mates who saw the fish want me to make some Jewy lures for them.So my question to you guys is what makes a good hardbody Jewy lure?,what size action and color is best for big rivermouth Mulloway?
