Thread: Awoonga Jack

  1. #1

    Awoonga Jack

    I've just recently return from a trip to awoonga fishing with a few mates.
    All up we ended up catching 12 barra and 2 jacks between the 6 of us, one jack was 50cm and the other
    jack was 67cm,one of the bigest jack I've ever seen it looked like pupua new guinea bass
    big and fat, this fish must be some kind of record for fresh water?

    My mate Scotty caught the jacks trolling a barra classic at night time.

    will post the pictures soon.

    My mate called it for a metre plus barra at first until it got to the surface and he seen it was a little bit short and fat to be a metre plus barra.

    Go the Dog Bream!
    Give it another 5-6 more years and I reckon the Barra will be taking a backseat at Awoonga to massive,Thumpin Jacks.I know I'd trade 10 metre+ Barra for 1 Jack that lenght .
    The underlying spirit of angling,Is that the skill of the angler,Is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish,And that the latter is entitled to an even chance for his life. Regards, Hardb8.Kickin tails and razin scales since 1979.

    Did the fish get eaten? Just wondering as jack are my favourite eating fish and for the most i cant stand fresh water fish. Would be great to know they chew just as good.

    Worst luck we did keep the fish to eat and it tasted just like freshwater fish. Not worth eating, stick to eating the saltwater jacks.
