Maroochy jack session

[Chamelion]

Jason and I went fishing tonight at a new spot in the lower reaches of the Maroochy recommended to us by a friend.

The night started at 830pm and it started well with me landing a jack within 10 minutes of my bait hitting the water.
I won't bore everyone with a blow by blow account, but the end result was:

Jason - 3x mangrove jack (all on dead 4-5" mullet)
Me - 3x mangrove jack (bigger than his hehe) and an eel. (all on live silver biddies)

Pics, because everyone loves pics :D

nice outing thats a good score of jacks

[Chamelion]

Cheers :) I should add that all fish were released in good health. Looking forward to catching their babies once they migrate out into the big blue and breed some bubba jacks :D

Cheers mate, it seems like an alright place to wet a line. That said, I have a feeling that we just got really lucky last night. I don't think it would be wise for us to fish there again with the expectation of landing the same quantity of fish. Could end up a bit disappointed.

Awsome sesh mate , hows the river been fishing of latee. Just got back from bali and real keen to have a fish,

She's been a bit tricky of late to be honest.. I've been going out to wet a line not expecting much but have been a little surprised here and there.

Seems to be a few more trevs getting around now, jacks on the chew in the right spots, moses perch are making a bit of a comeback it seems, the odd 50cm+ flatty about... That's about all I can tell you really.

Great sesh there Matt. Look slike you are having fun while the rest of us drool.

Excellent work Matt,

I must say I'm particularly impressed with your catch and release.

Hopefully more of it catches on.

Regards,

Steve
