This season so far

[nipsta]

As alot will know im a mad keen jack fisho and jew fisho This is a bit of a update on where and what i have been targeting

So far i have done done 14 trips from october till now fishing 2 systems Maroochy and Caloundra

I have Hooked 10 jacks and battled to land 5 out of the 10 ranging from 34 cm to the biggest of just 50cm
I have hooked and landed 8 jew all under size biggest being 69cm
I have hooked and land 3 GT , shovel nose sharks , 2 sting rays , 2 pike ells , and too many catfish to recall , and ive caught some good bream (numbers unsure )

Most have come on live bait oh there was a session off the rocks chucked in there as well and i score a nice tailor out of 3 hooked (jumping and spitting lures back at ya sux ) on a gillies pilchard lead 85gram

Bu the most memorable session happen for me on the 28th of Novemeber where i finally broke a voodoo that has been haunting me for the last 5 years I cracked a jack on a lure
He went 47 cm and went to a Manns stretch 12 plus pictures tell the story .

I fished a deep hole i had soundered up a few years back and it felt right tide had turned and was running in . iwas cast parrell to the bank and bring it out on a slight anler into the deep hole which works a treat . To say i was happy was a understatement . Of all the fish i have caught over the last few years this was the most satisfying catch .



Unfortunatley due to fishing alone most of the time i wasnt able to take pictures with me holding the fish bah the brag matt shots
How ever there is one with me holding the speciemen i caught on lure

Im now more addicted to the red devils then i ever have been and im sure there are more to come

hahaha yeah been hiding doing my own thing abit . Cant get enough of the jacks that is for sure . Love them red devils and there tastey too .

I know of a recent catch on the sunny coast of a 63cm jack out of the mooloolah river one of the fellows from works caught it .

Good size fish be nice to crack the 55cm mark so i can have a new PB 54cm at the moment but i will keep trying maybe tomorrow for a flick after work

I still got to do a trip to baffle with ya too stev keen for that once i get stanage bay out of my system

[Frenzy 500]

Nip, I will be keen for that baffle fish mate. I know your a guru there!!

Hey, what sort of camera took those pics??? Why I say, and dont panic, but my Panasonic Lumix (waterpfoof job) started taking photos that had the same glary look that most of your pics have.....then it got worse and now....Its dead. Very annoyed as it was supposedly a top end camera.

Cheers Steve

Unfortunetly it was on my samsung galaxy phone . So im hoping it hasnt got the dying bug other wise i will have to start taking my camera out with me . I use to take the camera but kept forgeting to put it back in the boat and since i got the phone there all the time it normally goes ok might have just been me

Dont know about guru but know of a few areas to catch them i didnt get any last time i was there but im keen to attack again

Well done Nipsta, thanks for the report, they are addictive buggers Jacks and Jew, and certainly a challenge. Especially on lures! good onya,
