1st Jack

[Juzo]

went out from Cleveland last night about sunset, headed over to Peel and casted around a couple of spots for not much and some undersize grasslip. Had a new bloke with us who was showing both me and the skipper up, pulling in plenty of just under size squire. gave up after high tide with the wind picking up to about 15 knots and some big thunderstorms threatening. After being out voted we decided to stop in at the mouth of the raby bay canal. Casting at the rock wall for some baby bream and moses pearch, then bang, I landed a bream around 30cm, thinking hey this is getting better.

Then not long after BANG, I thought, shit this is a better bream, running and splashing, bring it up to the boat, and it's a JACK, a first one for me, 37cm, landed on 6lb fireline with a 9lb leader, on a bit of fresh squid.

Followed that up with a 35cm bream that was almost as big, and a couple of just under Eastury cods.

A fine finish to the night. Also got a squid, on squid!

Nice fish Juzo. Like the other boys said there will be alot of long nights in summer waiting for that big hit. The first 1 drags you in then jack fishin takes over your summer. Were you guys fishing out of 1 of Drews attack boats?

Cheers Whytey

Hey Whytey, Juzo was fishing out of my boat. Met you at the boat ramp. Was good to put a name to a face. On our wet trip back from Peel he wasn't too keen to keep fishing. Isn't he glad now that we did.

[Juzo]

Yeah I reckon I'm pretty well hooked on the jack fishing now, and Fish_Crazy's boat is a pretty good platform to work from for that kind of fishing. Am still buzzing from the catch 4 days later.

Hey Whytey, was that you we were yacking about shallow snapper fishing round peel Island?

I liken catchin your first jack on light tackle with having sex for the first time.

Something you never forget.

[Juzo]

yeah
thats a fair comparison, except catching the Jack lasted a bit longer!!
