55cm Landbased Creek Jack - New PB

[Pistol_P]

With the southerly still blowing strong today I decided to go and chase a Jack.
Hit a local creek that has a healthy mullet population and cast net some great livies.
The little jacks in this creek like a lure but the bigger fellows are harder to entice with a lure so livies had to come into the plan.
Decided to lob out the biggest mullet I had which would have been a good 20cm.
Sent him out under a float but he was swimming that strong he kept away from the snags.
Brought him back in and cut him in half....Fresh blood dripping from him I lobbed him back out and let it drift into the snags...It was a big bloody bait but it got slammed hard within a couple of minutes.
Forgot how hard the red ones pull....Great fight and I dragged a big fat jack up on the bank.
Fish went 55cm and was a new PB....Was great to see a big one in such a tight little creek.
I tried to keep the photo as natural as possible but had to hide it a bit with a few extra trees on the right hand side (hence the blurriness).
We all know how busy Noosa gets.

Cheers
Pete
