April Jacks

[Tropicaltrout]

Well it was not the best time nor was it the best weather but when things go right they simply go right.:D

With a bit of descussion over late months I met up with Nipsta for a arvo session on the jacks :) I gathered the bait earlier that day and the stage was set for a great arvo , but as the day progressed the day was becomming a little off:( but to never the less we were hitting it regardless.;)

So in postion we baited up and casted the first baits and with my highest hopes simons surface bait leaped from the water with a red devil hot on his tail and but second hit not so lucky for the bait. A nice fish landed at a guess of 50 cm, after a quick picture a ready to go jack went of swimming again. So out went the baits again and a short wait and simon was in again a little smaller but still a nice size fish 40 odd cm, after that followed a bream and I finally got ripped with a healthy hit but failed to sink the hook.:D

I then landed a small flathead, and soon enough landed a mid size jack who is now in my tank but now hes in there i have the erge to take him back for release:-/ ,

Anyhow we ended up with 3 jacks landed around 4 or 5 solid hits 1 bream and 1 flathead, not bad for a April session.

Anyhow till the next time.:thumbsup:
