Top jacks there fadil and some good size snapper as well. We have'nt caught any jacks out there yet, but have been bitten off numerous times in a row on some marks we have out there.

Excuse my ignorance but are the big jacks large mangrove jacks?
Great haul.

Yep, when jacks reach sexual maturity they move out offshore. Thats why there arent any that size in the rivers....actually theres the odd freak-show size, very seldom...

Hi No Luck,

Great effort some real nice fish there as others have said that name should be changed .

I am curious as to the shape of the tail on the jacks, they appear a lot more rounded than smaller ones I have caught in estuaries just wonder if others that have caught then offshore notice this to be the norm.

Cheers
Matty

Fadil, I think you can drop the" no luck" tag now Well done mate, and I'm sure it wasn't simply luck that got you onto 'em. Good on yer.

YEP
just checked some photos of jacks , and Im pretty sure the dorsal fin& tail on the red fish in this thread is the wrong shape , more like a cod of some kind.
And the one with the pit near the eye Im pretty sure is a Red Bass.
Can one of you online Gurus confirm or refute my suspicion.
