jacks still biting

[gecko]

Hi guys,
well the research paid off with me hunting in spots that nobody else goes to. Ive had about 4 big jacks 50-60cm wrap me around snags in the last few weeks. Isnt it frustrating when you know the fish is still hooked. you play the line out, reel it in, feel the vibration and know hes still there. bang, the rod snaps few guides and the fish is off, oh well. So I know where they live now.

The boat was in for repairs on moday, so i went LB for fun in a secret spot in a Hervey bay creek. Got this 52cm boy on a mullet strip.

Went out Sat am with the boat for a test run. Got a 42cm grunter (my first) on Atomic Prawn (pearl), right where chewy said they would be near Pacific haven. (no pic).

Wait until I get the boat right. If only the water temp holds for a few more weeks. Im sure theres a 60 club model down there.

cheers
Andrew

Hi Gecko,

Great fish mate......there is no worse of feeling of a big fish hooked and they wrap / sang ya and you can still feel it on....that brings back a few memories that I am quicly trying to expel from my thoughts lol.

50cm Jack - cant complain - healthy looking fish too!

Well done mate.

Cheers - Benno

You look just like Wilson from tooltime in that last shot fejjy. Same hat and everything, lol.

The floods didnt stuff up your river eh? I thought they might have made it worse.
