I did ask you nicely
You better take that to Johns Landing Dids.
There's plenty of pigs and wild animals up there!
Some real squealers gettin' about, stalking the grounds like caged animals!!!!
I'll have my eyes out 4 the big white bear.
Nice result there keith, 3 is tops, you da man. Shame about the big one, but thatl keep you coming back. Nice sounder shots too.
Fejjy with a color screen for esturies? You have too much money mate.
Are the hooks bending, or just being ripped out? Ive had no probs with prawnstar hooks, I think they are pretty strong. I have had a couple of hits last summer that didnt hookup, but thats about it, no bent hooks ever. Maybe you have tougher jacks? They do fight harder when they are close to cover.
Do you do all your jack hunting in daylight hours?
cheers
Andrew
love the jacks great effort to land 3 and unlucky about losin the other
by far jacks are my fav estuary fish
Andrew, I brought a new prawny yesterday, junior size, and found out the hooks fitted are VMC 3XStrong as I matched them to hooks I've got at home..Originally Posted by the gecko
I found the middle hook to be a bit loose in its slot (if you know what I mean) and put a VMC 6Xstrong in the slot and it fits much tighter. Real snug.
I've had quite a few of the standard belly hooks fall out of the prawny especially when you give it a solid rip.
Do U guys tie the belly hook on, I just pass the line through and tie to the rear only, is this correct?
Yes, dids, you pass the line thru the mid hook, and tie to the back hook.
Fejjy, Ive OFTEN had the middle treble fall out, perhaps every second cast on some days, but as its got line thru it, you should never lose a fish. The mid treble is always a sloppy fit. Thx for the tip on the 6x, I might buy some of these.
BCF also sell spare weights for pranwstars, these can be handy. Theres a diff in teh way the lures swims, if you remove the front or back weight. I also run some mono thru the nose to imitate 'feelers'. Its all on the prawnstar website guys.

Hey Keith if your here on the coast with the weather the way it is you you have inspired me. I really have to stop wimping out and just get on the water!

wouldnt mine trying more jack luring this time, have to pull out some of those old bush and beach fishing mags and have a read.
nice story.
Gecko-Rarely straighten them mate, although 2 fish I hooked last year did. Fully cranked drag, so something had to give. At least it wasn't the knots. The jacks I chase are really tight to nasty structure during the day, so I give them absolutely nothing and thats why I tear so many hooks. Several times I have pulled part of their lip in. All depends whether the hook sets in a firm part of the gob or just in the lip. Just about all of my jack fishing takes place during the day mate. Planning on a doing a few surface missions once it warms up though.
Frothy-Not even that far north, so they should be having a chew up there by now. Get amongst em mate.
Dids-These ones came from mud mate. In the deep hole.........Just have to get through the 10kg snapper.
hey keith thats a good start on the red season , that bottom one has a buitiful colour to it , were you fishing up noosa or down this way ?
cheers nico
Will do Kieth was planning a trip on Sat has to be down Bribie way as the family are picnicking for day early fathers day "apparently". Guessing there will be a bit of a fresh from the creeks by then. Any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Frothy
Frothy- Not sure what this rain will do yet mate, pretty clean before it so mighten be too bad.
Nico- South of noosa mate.
