Finally after a few months talk I caught up for a fish with Archer.
We headed up a creek in Ballina to spot X (I have always wanted a spot X!!!) and started casting lures hopeing for a Jack or two.
I was casting a Rapala skitterpop and Joe started with a diver. There was a few smashes around but not a lot of activity on the lures.
Once we made it to the sacred archer grounds...aka spot X, we started casting around, I cast over a rock bar on the inside corner of a bend and instead of the nudge nudge you get from the bream on poppers it just went SMASH!! Had my drag up pretty tight so I didn't have too much trouble landing my first Jack. He went 72cm's to the fork and weighed 8lb.........oh no, hang on, that was my dream last night, he was only about 20cm's and maybe 1/2 a pound......got a bit mixed up there!!!
Anyway, we caught a few bream as well and was home by 0930....Joe fished on so am interested to see how he went. Thanks for the fish Joe, Def. keen to go out again. Sean :)
