Jacks And Jews

[sammys]

I know a few of you guys have been out with me and are often asking about jacks which have been hoting up a bit of late along with a few school jewies so thought you might enjoy a few photos of the last week or two all on Soft Plastics on 4lb fireline. Tight lines to you all! Brian from Anglers advantage.

Theres been some good threads here showing that the survival rate of fish held by lipgrippers is extremely low. Sorry, I didnt mean to whinge, they are great fish otherwise. thanks for the report, keep em coming.

Yeah always grip their stomachs to support them.
Good report otherwise.

I am pretty sure once the fillets come off them, the lip gripper treatment doesn't upset them anymore. ;)

Nice catch there matey :thumbsup:

Nice work! some good fish there. What would be the SP of choice for each of these species in this case?

[sammys]

Yep 4.8 Brumby rear console, 4lb fireline though am switching over at the moment to Stren Microfuse. Without getting into the big debate I do my bit for catch and release as obviously a sustainable resource is good for me but clients obviously want pictures and lip grippers avoid spines and teeth, I don't want the customers getting hurt either, the fish are allways swum afterwards and big fish are supported under the belly if they are going back, if the client wants to keep the odd one that's their choice. Most people do like to keep the larger Jacks and Jews. I use a lot of the Maple Softies in the Rack Gliders and Reef Gliders, Hooked On Angling In Tewantin stock them as well as the Berkley gulp Minnows and Shads.

Some nice fish there. Pumicestone Passage or Noosa system?

Great opportunity for you to educate your clients about correct way to hold fish to be released.....

Nothing wrong with paying clients eating a fish, I would too. Im not judging. Its just that they die after swimming away, if theyve been hung unsupported. No offence intended mate, Im glad to hear you support the fish that are going to be released.

"It is in reference to whether large fish that are held vertically for a photo can die even after they swim away, apparently none the worse for the experience.

Bill Sawynok from Infofish says the DPI has performed a study on this. During the study, one set of large fish was held vertically and another set was held horizontally (these were barra, I believe). Then both groups of fish were released into holding tanks.

The mortality rate for vertically-held fish was 100%. X-rays showed that some had vertebrae that had come apart, and all had suffered significant internal damage. Surprisingly, the fish didn't die within hours or days -- it actually took several weeks for them to die. I hadn't expected that; presumably it takes a while for their damaged organs to eventually fail."

[ronnien]

looks like the fishing is starting to hot up everywhere!
