CAIRNS - massive inlet jacks

[scuttlebutt]

Launched the boat in the inlet today to have a try for some jacks. It was a really nice sunny day, but I was thankful for the canopy. The fishing was fairly steady, with a nice wolf herring and a few big pike coming aboard. Should make useful reef bait at least.....

[scuttlebutt]

then BANG, and after a rough tussle, a big dog bream was swung over the side...

[scuttlebutt]

We couldn't believe our luck. But it wasn't to end there. Another huge strike had the penn down to the spool knot in no time. A mammoth battle ensued, though there could be only one winner....

OK, just noticed these fish look a lot smaller in the photos.... honest!

Oh well, they're a pretty fish at any size. Going to head out to the reef tomorrow to try and upsize them.

cheers,
