mate this is some of the best time to go jack fishin.
personally i get them on lures and let them go but have no worries with anyone keeping a feed!
target the jack over this month cause there really trying to feed up before the full force of winter kicks in.
look at the water temp it has only dropped 2-3 degrees even though it feel cold outside the water is still warm.
nice jack how long was it?

Holey fluck, that's a shade bigger than the one i got this morning at nerang (see my other thread)

well done mate !! nice !!

I'm about to wander across to cook 'im

here's a wee recipe (I'll be using with the one I caught...)

head and all cleaned and innards removed.
Pat of butter
White wine
Fresh garlic
Fresh parley
Fresh lemon zest
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper
1Tbsp Capers (optional)

Clean the fish and salt and pepper the outside and inner cavity. Drizzle a
small amount of oil on it and throw it in a screaming hot 500F Oven for 18 -
20 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate and cover and set aside.

Take the pan you roasted the fish in and add the pat of butter and the
garlic and capers (optional). Cook 1 minute over medium. Add the white
wine, bring to a boil and simmer 3 or 4 minutes. Add the parsley and lemon
zest pour over the fish and viola!

This lemon/parsley/garlic mix is known in French cooking as a gremialad.
This is a classic taste you will love, and very simple. Some people throw
in some capers during the butter garlic sauté part. Very very good. Capers
are small buds from the nesturchin bush.

Glass of Wolf Blass Vintage Chardonnay.. YEAH !


Wife says eech, let 'er have the supermarket hormones from where-ever, don't care. I like fish, I eat what I catch and I LOVE IT !! wouldn't have it any other way.. no comparison - basa and all that can go and get F*'d
