Never caught a mangrove jack yet, but I must say, im starting to get excited reading a few of these awesome reports.
I always pictured mangrove jacks to be like bream size max 40 cm, I never knew they were such monsters capable of spooling 20lb line with 40 lb leaders.
I went down to Norman Park last night Brisbane river hoping to get some livies and catch my first Jack.
Would like to know what are the best rigs for catching jacks with live bait in the creeks and estuaries and where im supposed to be fishing for them as far as structure goes.
Also would like to know what lures are the best to use for jacks as well. I dont use braided line, I have all my reels (6) loaded with 14lb - 20 lb mono filament.
Any information would be welcome....Cheers Beejay
