    Default Where do i collect the 50+ jack club membership card?

    Woke up this morning with one thing on my mind FISHING. Krysten was working today so up i got and loaded up the boat. Tested sounder it wont work had a quick play with it but couldnt fix it. Got down to the ramp and went ugh braid scissors where are they ( quick dash to a tackle shop and got a pair ). Finally launched the boat in some gross looking water . Spent way to many casts trying to find fish changing plastics etc etc. Plenty of little bream hits but no trevs .

    Finaly found a plastic that attracted more attention with two hook ups in a row then dropped fish . a little tinnie came roaring passed right where i was flicking :\.

    So i shot of to the other side of the little river to another rocky ledge about 2 casts into it i was on. Big time.. It ran straight for the jetti but i some how turned the fish. Lots of head shakes and massively powerful runs. I knew it wasnt a trev but had no idea what it was. about 10 minutes later a big red fish came up to the surface and i was shocked to see the size of this jack. Soon as it came up it pelted straight back down. I had the fish securely but everytime it saw the net it would bolt. WAY WAY to hard with one person. Finally got it into the net !


    Fumbled around for my camera and realized i left it in the car only iphone pics. Wish i got one of me holding it. It was so fat and healthy!. Had plenty of life in it pretty much swam off straight away to hopefully give someone else a good run for there money.

    Finally heard my ci4 scream for Mersey and the luvias rod bending like it should :P. Was spooled with 5lb powerpro and 6lb nitlon leader using a 3" pearl watermelon minnow.


    p.s sorry for the huge rambling post i am still rather excited.
