Had a couple of sessions chasing jacks over the last week. 1st was with my brother in a creek off pum passage. We had hooked countless jacks in this snag since feb that are all but unstoppable. It had been a few weeks since we had hit it so we didn't know what to expect as the water temp had dropped a few degs. We fished late afternoon and early into the night with livies that resulted in him pulling a small one out at 37cm and both of us missing 1 or 2 each along with a couple of pike eels. Had another go this arv with my mate shaun once again using livies. I floated mullet over the snag under a balloon while he fished them lightly weighted on the bottom. The floaters got 3 solid hits without a single hook up. Very frustrating! Then it was shauns turn. He managed a 36 and 37 jack out of the snag as well as a big bust up before things went quiet. It seems that the big fish we have been hooking over the last couple of months have moved on. All up we got 7 hits for 2 1/2 hours work with shaun landing the only 2 fish both caught on livies and all fish released. Not a bad session for late april. Cheers
