me and my brother headed out on sat morning about 6 am, with the intensions of getting a couple flatties around south straddie. but on out arival the wind was pertty bad so the descission was made to shoot up the coomera and chase a few beam for some fun.
using my new fluger trion 1-3 kg rod with an daiwa za2000 (which iv had a fair while) spooled with 8lb pe braid and 10lb vanish leader.
we flicked 2" peppered prawns around on 1/12 tt heads
landed 6 little bream from 22 - 27
dropped a fairly decient flattie around 40cm
and got smashed by my first jack at 43cm :) flicked the prawn at the back of a boat and as soon as the lure sank about 1m, line started peeling from my daiwa pretty quickly i slowed the spool down a bit and after about 5 mins of battling this fiesty jack managed to get him into the net.
what a beautiful fish they are i couldnt believe how hard he pulled and how great they look,he was almost white when he came to the net but then quickly changed to a lovely red.
we headed home about 9am so was a great little session.
look forward to getting out there again on the weekend weather permitting.
