    Sounds like you've lost your touch, Andrew, time to go back to Jack basics and have a read Might be time to upgrade the old rod to an Egrell.

    Sorry mate, Good to see your working things out.

    Sorry I bet......Actually, I know where theres a good post on jack basics, but its not my post (although it did sound a lot like my post). I was thinking that you might offer me that egrell Dids? roflmao.....

    The big ones all wrapped me around structure and busted off the braid. At least none were lost to knot failure or failed hookups. Id lost so many jacks last year that I gave up on Gamma Circles a few months ago. Since I changed to Owner Cutting Edge hooks, I havent lost a fish to pulling hooks. They all stick nicely.

    Big ones all felt bigger then my 57 pb too. Im sure theres a 60-70cm model down there. maybe I can make a late charge at the end of the season.

    Im off tomorrow to buy a 4wd so I can access these dodgy ramps better, and I hate 4wds. The things we do for a fish.

    Hi cuzza, no, it was about 10km upstream of your spot, (thanks to Chewy for the hint on the spot).

    I gave your spot 3 goes last month cuzza, and got nothing. Mighta been the recent rain, the water was a bit brown. its getting better now. Im sure your spot would fire in the right conditions tho, shame its over an hours drive away from home tho.

    cheers
