:woohoo: In the last two kayak trips near the broadwater i've lost an sx60 to a estamated 40cm jack, dropped a similar sized one and straightened the hooks on an absolute monster probably 50cm+. Finally my mate fraser managed a small one around 28cm on the 31st of Jan among other things like cod and flatties too.

We're going back again soon for another go.

:ohmy: Got smashed up by 3 of these blokes last week.. Would be stoked to finnaly get one this month :woohoo:

[Angus]

So is anyone targeting Jacks specifically?

As they are high up my list anyway I will be giving this a good crack!

Angus

[kriso]

You got done? How did you go overall?

[kriso]

lol!!! nice one leighton! hope he didnt have anything to expensive hanging out of his mouth

[Leighton]

it was a quiet morning, Tailor, Moses Perch, Bream, Trevs and a couple of Bust ups.

The Trevs were going nuts, best bust ups we have seen

Thinking it was a 'Red Bream', took my Banana Prawn and headed towards the pontoon with a fire cracker up its dot and a clean bite off

[kriso]

hahahha jeez mate sounds like tuff fishing lol! the old trevs go hard on the light stuff.

there was no real size on the Trevs

The fishing was slow and when the Trevs did bust up the 2 of us fumbled more like virgins on prop night, tangled Trebbles and duffed casts.

Thats when you know its been a tough morning

yep as the song goes "there will be days like this"

[bretto]

I managed to donate to lure to the MJ lure bank this morning and found a few likely spots so I will definately be giving FOTM a shot this time I think.

[84mick]

DAMN! I could have had a 54cm jack (south coast reports) on the FOTM but I didnt get my mug shot! well looks like Ill have a crack at the 60 club :woohoo: haha I WISH!

Cheers, Mick.

Might be time to up the leader bretto, jacks on surface is still well worth the odd donation though

[wesfish]

Thats some expensive action!! sounds like you might upgrade the jack very soon !! you should find them sammys in a week or so on the bank:lol:

[cato]

please excuse my lack of knowledge, but what is a sammy? im still pretty new to all this.

Thanks

[wesfish]

sammy is an expensive lucky craft surface lure!

[Beefa]

It's a walk the dog style lure same as the Mega bass DogX JR
