queensland Few Jacks of late...

[sweresy]

Thought i'd share a few images of some recent Jacks we've been getting into. Although not monsters, the numbers have been there this season (for a pleasant change) and trying a few new techniques has also proved successful. Fish have come from the Coomera River system as well as Noosa.

Anyone that regularly targets these angry fish will know how satisfying it is seeing that red flash come up!! Jack fishing is SUPER addictive but can be frustrating at times with monumental dust ups leaving you speechless and wishing you could reverse the clock back about 3 seconds... Anyway many thanks to Doobsy on the camera cheers for reading

Great pics mate. Is the Pinky lure a Jackall chubbie?

[sweresy]

@keen_as thanks mate, yep Jackall Chub!!

[Surfingant]

Great pics boys, I'd be happy with a couple of those jacks, might try and get one that's not the result of trolling in the next couple of weeks.

[sweresy]

Get down there Ant, the water's bloody warm, dropped a huge fish tonight; broke 30lb like it was 4 ;(

[kmcrosby78]

Some beautiful jacks there guys, well done. Looks like that last one hit the lure hard - look at that hook penetration!!!!

[Surfingant]

Haha, in that case I'll have no hope unless I force myself to upsize my gear :pinch: ah well worth a shot.

[sweresy]

That first fish pic was fluked on 6lb.. Depends on surrounding structure and where the hooks go in I guess...

[tomca]

yeah nice, but have you got a green fish yet?

I got a red one already :kiss:

[sweresy]

Yeah I heard mate, nicely played.

Green fish : is still on my most wanted list... When I can confidently jump on a yak without ending up drowning I'm in for sure. Maybe I should just take the boat to Glen Lyon hey ?

[tomca]

Thats like catching a jack at the pet shop.

Maybe I head over to Bulimba Creek and you try a scary yak on for size one day soon

[sweresy]

Haha sounds good. Give me a couple of weeks to work off Xmas festivities still :/.....

[Surfingant]

Just get on a yak sweresy, stop being a skirt

[tomca]

Sweresy is just afraid if he goes yak, he'll never look back

[Surfingant]

Well it is obvious that all the cool kids here are yakkers, none of that offshore/boat/can't go because the water's not glassed out rubbish

[ellicat]

Don't do it Sweresy. Those yaks put you too close to the turtles :woohoo:

[qbkami]

Nice Jacks Kris! Im surprised you pulled one out on the J.chubby with what looks like a light setup.

If you have any tips on catching Jack at Noosa for me Kris shoot us a pm cause im trying to catch my first Jack and heading to Noosa for 4 days this Saturday.

[Angus]

Very nice mate

[Woggie]

Awesome fish there mate. They are an addictive species thats for sure. Cheers for posting

[jnewy]

nice jacks well done they would put a smile on any fishermans face :woohoo:

[sweresy]

Don't do it Sweresy. Those yaks put you too close to the turtles :woohoo:

roflmao, god those things are vicious !! :evil:

[Eug]

sick of seeing your photos mate you catch too many good fish!!

[Keen-as-fisho]

Beauties mate and yeah I agree they are very addictive, might have to go for a few this arvo I think along the O'connell river

[sweresy]

Lucky you mate ^ good luck!

[sunnydays]

Nice fish there Sweresy! Great pics too.

[Doobsy]

Thought I'd chuck in a couple from this morning as well...

The action was pretty good, with a couple of thrown hook-ups, follows, surface smashes and a few boated including a PB for me at a beastly 30cm... :dry:

Saw a few others out hunting including two boats and a few 'yaks. Pretty busy down the Coomz, especially with the water at 30 degrees.

Anyway, a successful mission...

[PlasticFantastic]

Good to see you getting amongst the jacks fellas and yeah the Coomera is the place to be at present I'm up to about eleven for the season out of there with only four being legal and the rest just pups but still fun. Do you guys fish any particular tide down there as bottom of the run out seems to work best for me, run in equals bugger all.

Cheers

Mark

[sweresy]

Mark I'm certainly no expert but have been finding the dead low/ run in more productive....

[cookie_7]

Toonie and I were in the Coomera canal today as well. Did you see 2 asian guys in a small tinny?

[51MPL]

Great fish and great photos as alwaya fellas.

The boys start early and are off the water early so dunno if they saw you cookie. What time were you there?

[Doobsy]

Toonie and I were in the Coomera canal today as well. Did you see 2 asian guys in a small tinny?

Don't think so mate. We were off the water by 9.

Don't think so mate. We were off the water by 9.

We were in the water by 430am and got out around 920am.

This is my 2nd jack trip in the Coomera, both unsuccessful. Going back again n try.never give up.

Hey Cookie_7,

We've had soo many trips with a zero result. I think fishing for Jacks can be one of those things that can be nothing, nothing, nothing then bang!! Monday arvo i fished for 3 hours without a single bump then had a hit, pulled line (30lb) on a solidly locked drag and bust off. Whole thing took bout 3 seconds. So was obviously very frustrating

If it helps, lately I've been fishing light (6-8lb) and have been getting a lot more fish although they are small by most standards. I don't care though; it's the challenge. Definitely better fishing seems to come on the low/ rising tide either very early or late. Good luck mate, it's just a matter of time till you score

[toonie]

I guess we will have to keep trying lol. Might give the light lines ago aswell.
