Hervey Bay jacks

[the gecko]

Its been pretty slow up here, but Ive finally found a honey hole. Heres a cupla 44s that took butterflied herring. Both caught in the daytime too, hmmm. They had 3 big brothers that busted me off and got away, so we will be back there soon. Gee they fight harder near heavy snags.

The creeks off the Burrum and Mary rivers are just riddled with sandbars. Its lotsa fun going out at evening and marking them with gps, and coming home at night in strange waters. Down on the goldy canals, you could always see something from a streetlight or pontoon light. These creeks are just pitch black, so youre flying by intruments only. The Burrums not surveyed either, so nobody but the locals know where the rocks are.....no red and green markers round here mate. Then the spotlight dies....

Still no barra or thready yet, but at least Ive got something on the board.

Roydsy, I’ll take you up on that. Not sure when Im free over easter, but I’ll pm ya mate.

Bluebeard, one of my old jack students, I haven’t heard from you for ages. Are you chasing bass now instead of jacks? I’ll never forget watching you break your cherry with a 52cm jack.

Setthehook, theyre in any of those little creeks between bundy and 1770 if you wanna target em. Maybe we should do a trade…..I’ll take you on a jack hunt, if you take me hunting pelagics…….Im only an hour away from bundy.

CV, nothing here that would interest you mate, better stay put, lol. This creeks not big enough for the two of us.

cheers
Andrew
