went up to the passage for the first time to do some crabbing and a bit of fishing today. Managed to be lucky enough to snare my pb mangrove jack at 48cm. Lots of fun, pulled hard and put up a good fight. see attached.
Got only one muddie unfortnutely so the jack saved the day.
water was still a bit dirty, plenty of sea grass in the water and other debris. Good day out.
Solid jack mate. Aren't those environets just the best thing ever.
"holy sh!t, did you see that?"
Well done mate.
What did you get him on?
Cheers

Very nice Jack well done
Cheers Axl
Nice fish champ , thats a great photo !
Is that creek vermin in the background
Cheers
Good looking fish and a saver for a single crab. Thse enviro nets are a payne on the larger species as you can,t swish it under them in time so i went back to my old open mesh. Good day out. Cheers
Nice Jack! Haven't been up the passage myself for a while now - good to see that there's still good quality fish around hey - congrats on ya big one! Cheers, Darren

cheers guys. appreciate your comments. It may be a standard fish to some of the old salts but to me it was a great one so i was happy. Fish was caught on a live poddy mullet. He played with it for about a minute b4 he actually took it proper. Fish was released too btw. I actually lost another which i im pretty sure was a jack too.
yes i agree regarding the environet. They are good but they have a lot of drag and cant move it underwater very fast.
hey cooch - mate i decided to stay inside the main passage with the fresh and the crabs. I dont think i would have got access anyway in my boat (bay boat). I cant believe how shallow the main channels are. I was dragging bottom in a lot of places. Very nice area though. very impressed with it.
side note - saw a heap of people fishing and traps in the green zone.
