went for another throw on the way home from work yesterday at coomera,fished on the opposite side of the river i usually fish from. plenty of poddie mullet swimming close to the shore. in the fisrt hour managed to land 2 medium size bream and a small trevally.
about 4pm the clouds thickend up and the humidity went thru the roof just before a few drop of rain and thunder started. through out a mullet,waited and waited for about 15min, one big tap on the bait,then one bigger tap and zzzzzzzzzzzz away goes that sound. after a small fight managed to see some colour,wooohooo ,that dark red again.
measured the devil up,went 33cm, a quick pic and he was set free to do what ever he wanted to do.
heres the pic

Congrats!

How do you make a short fight out of a Jack like that? They have always bricked me so fast I wondered what the heck happened!!

Nice work!

Well done mate. Seems like you always nailing the fish in the coomera. Care to share some of your secret spots :D

Ive fished there plenty of times but only ever get the smallish bream, todies, crabs, stingrays and if im lucky a flattie.
