Mangrove jacks r us

[Tropicaltrout]

Hey all
It was this Sunday and it was decided to do a jack session. So 5am we were on the water with a few cast and the bait was taken care of, then casted out. What happened next was a boy's dream, my little bro, was sitting ready when wack the rod was nearly ripped from his cold morning hands, a jack of 45 to 50 cm was nearly a the bank when snap it was all over. we then regained our composure, casted out then it was my turn with a healthy wack but nothing, a little dis-heartened jase yelled i am on, a brief fight and a healthy small jack was brought to shore. 29 cm. So not a bad start three hits one fish, and a heap of funwe then left befor ethe sun got too high and returned that afternoon, to a barmy everning, The baits hit the water and after a short wait a massive boil and jase was in and was really in a great battle with us winning a 44 cm jack, after a few picks he was swimming free. Then we were back in again. Only two more minutes later the biggest hit ever, and a short burst towards the bank and snap it was all over sixty pound leader broke like cotton, and that was it onle a forty five cm flathead and a bream.

It was one of the best sessions on jacks i have ever whitnessed, around three hours solid fishing with six solid hits and two landered so can't complain with that My mate jase is a top fisho and full credit to him it was his day I enjoyed watching those bent rods just as much as having them myself well done mate. Next time that brown snake might have to mve along cause that spot is a ripper!!!!!!

Cheers TT

Broke thru a 60lb leader Thats gotta be a shark doesnt it? Even jacks wouldnt get thru that? Are you sure the knot didnt break or the braid didnt rub off on a rock? No offence mate, Im just curious.

Nice catch anyway, well done.

Yes, I too feel like everybodys catching jacks but me..... I suppose time on the water might have something to do with it? Gotta get out, gotta get out....

cheers

Aren't jacks just the best lookin fish. Very nice.

hey gecko, No Shark, Not a knott, just a brute of a jack, with a touch of bad luck, and any fish with teeth and and the power of a big jack will break 60 lb gear any day. just a matter of where the bugger swims and were he hits the bait if inhails it things like that.

Anyhow it was a top session, back there again this weekend, its a great spot and its on the coast, buts that is all will give up, sorry but it a freak spot and it pure luck we found, not ready to share yet.
