    Hi Mangajack
    Thanks for the response, yep it is a great creek to while away the time in, still some areas up the top end i haven't explored yet, thinking of buying a kayak to do it

    Hi Didley
    Yes I do, Ningi is home to some big jacks that live in tight spots so you will need a minimum 10kg outfit with a good drag, Mangajack will know more jack spots than me as I believe he fishes the top end of the creek from a kayak so he can get to spots I can't in my boat, if you want to try for some from around September on, send me a pm when you are serious and I will provide you details of where to try, you will need live bait as the jacks are pretty wary of all the lures that get thrown at them on weekends, some nice cod in the creek as well, Ningi is a good creek to explore, however do it a low tide as there is a lot of crap that sits just under the surface.

    Happy to show you around if you like

    Ron

    Great Ron, We'll have to do a trip, but I do like to find my own spots, it's part of the challenge of the sport.

    No problems, one of the best things about this site is that most of the posts I read are about people doing there own thing and not trying to skim everyone else, you will enjoy exploring Ningi, when you think you know a bit about Ningi, go hit Elimbah, much more shallow than Ningi because of silting uo over the years however still holds some good fish, then on to Glasshouse Creek and Mission Pt area, couple of Glassy grunter on ice attached

    All of my jacks in Ningi creek are caught on under 10lb main line and usually with 14lb leader.
    I have given up on hard bods and soft placcies there for jacks.
    Now i fish the surface only for jacks in the 45 mins either side of low tide.

    Learn where the rocks are and you will get action.

    Try not to find the rocks with the prop though, there are some big patches that do not quite get exposed on an extra low tide.....these ones fish the best because they are known by few people.

    Top end of Ningi is the poorest fishing of any of the Pummy feeder creeks. It just does not have the terrain in the top end the others have. Elimbah, Hussey and Coochin have the best.

    Thanks for the information mangajack, I will give this a try, do you fish for them yourself only in the warmer months
