My jackoff practice/ explore from this morning

Went out with a mate to a little spot I hadnt been too nor did I realise It went so far. I wasn't fishing too seriously with only a 2-4 stick with a 10lb braid/leader combo I was surely to get smashed :P. I cruised up around the lake for about an hour just eyeing off the snags that would be covered at high tide for future reference. Then we started drifting around. I had quite a good few smacks and a couple hooking up for all of 2 seconds before the hooks pulled. I managed to stick to one little guy which I was happy with as its my first for the new season. I threw a few more casts slow rolling the dropbear fish through the snags and got absolutely hammered and was cleaned up in all of 5 seconds oops... Should of brought the heavier gear.

We pulled a fair few flathead from the brackish, Biggest going around 54cm.

Stretched my braid a little myself on the Gold coast, I'm ready.

Good work Adam, weather permitting, I'll be doing another recon trip tomorrow for preparation.

Good to see a few getting around.
:still_dreaming:

Very well could of been, If you pm me where I will confirm, The only person I saw today in a boat was in a center console setup.

ah, that wasnt me then, I was in my Hornet.
How was that wind, blow a kiwi off the dole it was puffing that hard at times, made working hard bodies in the lay downs "ïnteresting" to say the least, and then it rained on me on the way home!

Nice work Adam, isn't it funny how much jacks vary in colour!

wonder if water temps impact on colour benny, as well as surroundings?

Possible mate!! All I know is I don't really mind what colour variation, I want #2 hehe :)
Did you manage to see red Brian?

yeah, found a couple mate

I was in pretty much glassed out spots, few corners were windy but I was pretty protected by trees. I felt the wet though :(


As for the color, it was only a jevy 32- 35 at best and came from brackish. I have seen so many colors in jacks though not sure why they change so much.

dunno re the colour mate, the enviroment you catch them is the obvious thing, but Ive watched passage jack go from albino to crimson red on the mat, maybe its an attitude thing, cause the passage dogs allways try and bite me!

Hehe I had heard the mood makes a difference! I can remember from the one i caught years ago it was very angry and bright red lol

they can throw those jaws.....
