queensland Shattered dreams!

[nadders]

Finally got out for a fish in the river after what seems like a very very long intermission. Anyway it was a great opportunity to test some lures as I've not had a chance to throw them at the mouth until now.

We had a decent session, but my dreams were shattered about halfway through the night lol. I cast at a rock wall, one slow lift/drop and the lure got hammered on the drop, fish screamed off toward the rocks but i managed to lock him down, then he screamed off paralell and suddenly went dead

easy fight to the side of the boat reveals:

going from the snout to the pectoral fin measure it would have been around 55cm, but in its current state it only hit the 30cm mark lol

while i was crying like a little girl for the next few hours my mate hooked a couple of fish too:

Oh well I had fun, will probably be a while between 55cm brissy jacks and I wish the shark had been somewhere else but oh well, cest la vie

cheers

I feel your pain

[Ben Derecki]

What lures are you using there Nadders?

[Eug]

bad luck on the shark mate, but excellent to know that your lures are doing the goods.

[Bluevien]

Half a Jack is better than none. Still looked like a good session with the lures doing their job.

[Scope]

Well aint that just a massive kick in the balls! :laugh: haha Hard luck mate, wish I could catch fish like that and then have them eaten by sharks! :laugh: Beats last nights donut.

Keep up the good work

[nadders]

lol cheers. when i first got him boatside i didnt see he'd been sharked, all i saw was a big jack head, at least i got the initial buzz before the truth revealed itself :cheer:

[free2rome2]

Like your lures, they look interesting with luminous...

Cheers, jonathan

heartbreaking about the jack but looks like a good session had!

do those lures glow?

cheers.

[nadders]

fergie,

mate they don't glow in the traditional sense of the word but they contain a colouring additive which enhances the way they look in different lights, the colours are multidimensional and change in different lights and angles.

im looking into what other additives can be used for effects such as glow in the dark down the track, but not for the moment

cheers
