NOW THATS JUST SHOWING OFF!! :ohmy: :ohmy:

Maybe I should give the tweed a try..... :fishing:

[yoyo]

what are you using for leader there marty? an old anchor line.......?

you'll note the wispy fine 8lb berkley vanish rubbing the tonsils on my jack........... tuff guy.... ;-)

[marty]

YoYo - I think it may be the flash that makes it stand out - only 20lb leader for me for Jack fishing. That is sporting enough considering the territory I am fishing and the cost of the lures I prefer to use.

Heidi - only got 2 hours sleep before hitting the water - that is my secret to good Jacks, be there when everyone else is asleep!

bloody all nice fish!
