Hi,
Been doing a bit of bream and bass fishing lately so decided it was time to catch a jack. So decided to go to mooloolaba and on the third cast hooked up to this 50 ½ cm jack. Cast in between two pylons and was a very rough fight, but got it to the boat. Used 20lb finns and 30lb linesystem leader, lure was a 7" jerkshad. My friend also got busted on a pylon. First time fishing mooloolaba at night and plan on doing alot more these hols so hopefully can get few more jacks.
Fish was released.

It was about 8:15pm which was at the very start of the outgoing tide. Yer just casting in between the bridge pylons and jigging the lure back. There was a bit of wind around which made it a bit harder to fish as the wind was stronger than the tide.

So were you casting down stream and gigging back against the current or rolling with the current?

Against the current only because of the wind, normally i would rolling with the current, the wind and current was making it very hard to hold the electric and boat still.
