Hi all. This season ended I up with 44 jacks. Most were in the 40's with 9 going over 50cm and 1 caught by my mate at 62cm (I tied his knots, rigged him up with a bait and told him where to throw...10 sec later zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ). I missed almost 3 months of the season to go overseas and ended up feeding a 4kg jack, rice in the Philippines . Most caught on Sp and the rest on Live Bait. I also had some interesting sessions where 30lb braid / 60lb leader was not enough. Most were caught in the Tweed, Currumbin and Tally rivers. All landbased.
Cheers
Pete.

If you wish to learn more about reading and getting the most from your Lowrance units or learning more about fishing with artificial baits I will come out in the comfort of your own boat for one on one coaching. Please call for more information.
Jeffo- Mate kept a few this season (around 8). They are a top fish to eat.
Mick- Yeah mate, I cut a fine line between passing uni and spending time fishing. Hehe. Had a week off there where we got around 25 jacks between a few of us.
Jackextractor- I'm yet to break 60. Next season for sure. I'm getting a calcutta 250 and inserting an erskin drag. This might help as my 4000 sustain was nearly breaking with the 50+ models on a locked drag. You had a good season- saw some of your pics while I was overseas and really started stingin for a jack fish....nice work mate.
Pete.
