queensland On the Board 20/9/2012 mangrove jack

[ChrisC]

Hey fellas

went out this arvo same pattern as usual launched the yak around 430 to hit the canals till darkness chasen a ginger- at this stage I'm still after my first for the season-

tide was pouring out I new where I wanted to go an had a diver pre rigged for it -the first half an hr was really slow I was thinking it was gonna be the same results as usual- I made a decision to change to the other side an found a nice patch of water with current pouring over the top of rocky entrance- first cast in the shad gets eaten an up pops a tiny jack around 15cm i laughed at him an thought you lil cheeky for my first one of the season quick snap an put him back-

about 2 casts later same spot get another hit an sure enough another TINY jack about the same size I really wonder if it was the same one? at this point I was thinking if i should do a report coz I was on the board with two lil jacks but they were so small to bother I was thinking--

I changed side again to similiar structure when 2nd cast bumped into a rock an my 2-4kg loomis buckkled over an screamed drag on a tighten drag with 20lb leader -I new it was a good jack an I was worried I was gonna lose him coz man he was peelin line in structure - a few times I had him next to the yak an he went deep again an my rod an reel were nearly in the water I thought somethin was gonna pop luckily I had the pool net with me an I got out on the rocks cut my feet an took some pix shakin like a leaf- put him back with him barkin at me to let him go - check the pix where he wont let go of mums pool net

Nice report Chris and congrats on already netting three jacks so early in the season! I'd love to live where you do mate, one of the better areas for jacks so I'm told Not that I ever get any round there.
