Jacks on the chew

[Daintreeboy]

Last two weekends up the Daintree have fished well for all fish bar Grunter which have been a bit quiet although we still got a nice one Sunday.
The Jacks and Fingermark have been biting well though and a couple of nice fish have been landed in amongst the dozens (yep that many) of lost fish. Just a pity the weather wasn't good enough for the big boys (Fingermark) out wide. Oh well, next new moon

Daintreeboy, do jacks bite better on the new moon? Is tonite still close enough to the new moon?

[Daintreeboy]

I don't normally target jacks at this size but did the last two weekends only at the last spot. Like most fish they bite better around the full and new moons (beeter tides) and I believe the lead up to both is better than the few days after. I also think the new moon is better than the full and that applies to most fish this way. Again, not an expert on them though.

PS Chemster, didn't weigh or measure it but I'd say about 42 to 43 cm.

Nice looking jack there Mark, bit smaller than your average though (damn reef closure).

luckily that one wasn't mine so my average is still looking good lol . I deckied for a couple of newbies. The guy in the pic hasn't fished much and his gear was @#^@@. He loved it! got blown away by a few and nabbed a couple along the way.

yeah thinking about giving the inlet a try tomorrow. Still a bit windy to head out to the reef. Looking good for the weekend though. Noticibly hotter the last couple of days so might get some action happening

cheers,

was on the inlet today actually but for work so no lines in. Very frustrating as the water looked quite fishy. Water temp was about 26 mate so not a bad idea.
keep us posted.
Cheers, Mark.
