PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 Freshwater Jacks and Bream
Fished the lower sections of a freshwater creek just north of Mackay with Richard twice last week, once from the bank the other time from a tinnie with ok results.
With all the rain we've had the water velocity of the creeks has been chargin down making lure fishing a little difficult, but a few fish have been about taking advantage of the food getting washed downstream. First arvo session walking the bank i managed 3 tarpon (40ish), an archer and a nice Jack around 40cm all on an ecogear sx48 and 6lb string. Richard also tameing a few 'poon' on a squidgy. All fish released.
Next session in the same creek we decided to take the tinnie, and managed half a dozen small Jacks to 35cm and 5 Bream to 33cm, and busted off by a very large Jack. All these fish were caught mainly on sx40's and a few on 48's. Most of the fish came from the edges of newly submerged grass, where they were feeding on freshwater shrimp, not exactly 'typical' Jack habitat. They're a lot easier to land when they're in the grass rather than in the sticks ...
man thats mad catching jacks in the grass!
but like you say easier to get out haha
they sorted where the bait was
