Great to see so much concern for the future of our fish stocks. You blokes are setting a great example to the younger members who read these threads.
Just as matter of interest which SP would you recommend?
Cheers.

What other people think about me is not my business: Michael J Fox.
Well done guys. I was on the Nerang river Weds at dawn, but no jacks there.
Franco - what a good read!
You are dead right about not sharing niceties with fellow feminine fisher-folk and spare guests, you can promise them the world and deliver them zilch!
nice fish mate what is the water temp like where you are getting these fish
DC- Thanks for your comments mate. I don't see a problem with helping eachother out ... Isn't that why we're here?? But in saying that we give out info hoping that others will fish responsibly and also release fish as we do. On the other hand anyone has the right to keep as many as they like within the law ..... it depends on what everyone's personal wishes for the future of the fishery are. But imagine if one day you could say "well the jack fishing here USED to be good ...... but now it's EVEN BETTER!!"
To a degree I think there are some unwritten ethical rules .... if you completely find & suss out a spot, the tide, the technique etc on your own, and catch shitloads, then I think you have the ethical right to do whatever you like (within the regulations of course). If however you score fish following advice from someone else, in their area, using their recommended techniques etc etc then I believe you have been given the privelage of their experience and willingness to help, so you should respect this and not rape and pilage or tell every other M_F----a about it. I have had heaps of tips and help from others and always respect their spots ...... I either fish them on my own, or infrequently, and always C&R if the species are not pelagics. If someone helps me with a "secret spot" then I keep it secret!! Each to their own .... but that's my standing anyhow.
SgBfish: The SP I suspect is not too important .... it's the depth you fish em and a good action in the right situation ..... which changes each time in different spots. I've been using Squidgy shads in natural colours. Others have been using gulps but I personally hate using them they stink!!
Matt_w: temp > 25 degrees.
Awesome fishing guys, and a great post. To have found a spot as productive as the one you guys fish and constantly produce, must have worked pretty hard.. so well done and lovely to see those jacks. Keep em coming in.
cheers. jackash
fantastic effort fellas! some beaut fish yet again!!!
cheers,

Franco well said mate! I would agree with your Jack fishing ethics.
Very nice to see that your persistance, and most importantly patience, over the years Rod have developed your Jack fishing skills into a proven work of art. Always love your reports and your great pictures.
Well done again boys.
P.S. Nice creative thinking on your guys part with the change of attitude..... paid off too!
"Honey....you forgot to remind me to put the bung in....again!!"
Nice post Franco, did Rodrick mention that if you out fish him you are entitled to a free rack of ribbs at Mikes Kitchen Coolangatta.
Cheers Toppy
top report mate
