Ross River Tville - Golden Jack

[Dunkxx]

Gday fishos,
Went down to my usual this arvo along the Ross and after a few flicks i picked this lil fella up. Beautiful specimen espcially with the golden tinge. Ive never seen a jack with this golden colouring befor. Is this natural? has anyon else noticed this?

cheers all

Hey Dunks

Seems like the the Ross has seen a lot of Ausfishers just recently. I was down on Wednesday night and bumped into Mozza flicking poppers in the dark.

Them Jacks are good fun tho eh? Unusual colours on that one.

Mate they come in all different colours i have caught them and they looked green and some that looked white or light silver there good at changing colour to match there mood.

my pet one goes from nearly white to light pink to bright red crimson with white and orange stripes depending on what he is doing ie feeding.

if you want to start catching the next size up, strat throwing your sp around any of the boat ramps casting just off them is how my son sometimes keeps amused.

You got that right nugs. This combo i got off ebay was an absolute bargain.

won the rod for $2.25 plus postage $15 (still worth it)
won the reel $11 plus about $7 postage
even th braid cost about $10 all up

It great for me becasue i can get decent begginer level gear without buying the big brands.
cheers

The golden tinges to a jack are not uncommon, I regularly notice their brighter shades of pale coming through. Here is a pic of one scored today locally with good markings.
