NIce little Jack!!!!

[Paddyinoz2006]

HI there guys just thought id post a pic of my first jack from the land. Caught on 6lb braid and 8 lb leader. Was a few hanging around so just tighteded up the drag to the last and hoped for the best. Got this one but got busted off a good few times. Lure used is the trusty old gulp shrimp. Love catching them from the land but can be a bit challenging on the light gear.

sorry mate, i dont think thats a jack, lips too blubbery and lack of teeth dont convince me, also dorsal fin too long and big, sorry mate, looks more like a mother-in -law
sorry again

What is it then mate???

[Paddyinoz2006]

I thought the colour was not right. Could it be some sort of sweet lip.

definately a morwong or also known as a mother in law fish, because they are supposed to taste like crap.
cheers Marty.
