Went out to a hotspot of mine in the coomera tonight and landed a nice jack (42cm). I won the fight, it was neck and neck the whole way, he nailed my river to sea popper and bolted for the pontoons in about 1.5 secs and i then heard the sickening, gut wrenching noise of 20lb leader ripping barnicles off the edge of the pontoon as it grated along the bottom edge . At this point i started to get that funny feeling in my stomach of panic cos i knew it was a jack, so i lowered the rod and ripped him out as fast as i could and then i had him in the boat. Stoked, the fight was the main highlight. Such a good feeling when you win a mongrel fight with a big jack.
I was using a 4kg live fibre texalium spin with 10lb fireline and 20lb leader
Nice fish JACKpot, they do give an awsome display of power when they hook up don't they. Well done on extracting him from the snag. We went for a quick before work session yesterday but had no luck. How was the water clarity when you went out? The water when we fished was the colour of a Caramel Latte (yum ) and I would say the main reason for the lack of action.
Nice fish Jackpot - don't they hit those poppers hard?
How do you find the Texalium rods to use? They look like good rods but are more expensive than a lot of quality graphite rods, which has always put me off.
Nice fish there and good report. What leader were you using? I am looking for some 20lb to match up to my 10lb braid and yours seems to have stood up well.
great fish mate, those river to seas seem to be going alright atm. Hope theres many more to come. I don't think it gets any better than having the hit a popper it certianly is addictive.
