    @Swagger you must have nailed the technique down for these beasts. All I can manage at Teewah beach are swallowtail dart, bream, whiting, flatties but I am only using pippies as bait.

    I'm sure the campers would have got excited (as your were) seeing you pull that in. We quite often get the 4Wd spectators stopping if they see bent rods as well.

     

    Honestly not much to the technique, just increased my line lbs as each trip we get busted off. Just patience really, fish for bream and whiting and dart are less frequent at night on Teewah. Always use pipis

    i am 99% confident that is a giant oyster cracker in the photo.  awesome fish regardless mate, would have been an epic fight off the beach.  was it around some rocks in a gutter along the beach?

    There was a gutter to the right but where I hooked it wouldve been a flat sand bank. All 3 were caught within 30mtrs as it was right out in front of camp on an incoming tide. About 2hrs before high tide

    I went camping at Teewah Beach chasing the usual Bream and Whiting and I did land a 61cm Snub Nosed Dart on the last trip on 9lb mono. This time beefed up to 25lb braid as we had other bust offs and we landed 3 of them over 2 nights. First one went 76cm, second went 91cm and I managed to land a 104cm that went 12.1kgs! It was a 20min fight and my arms were sore by the end of it! All were released. Just wondering how big these suckers get?  

  9. Jack Fishing Tips Please

    I've only ever caught one, and it was a by-catch of shark fishing so my info may not be all that helpful :laugh:

    All i remember is that i had 50pd line, 80pd trace and bait was half a pilly on ganged hooks. Tide was running out and it was about half way down and was caught adjacent to a rock wall, which is about the only reason why I landed a jack. Even on that gear it pulled like a mofo on roids, and from memory went over 50cm. Also, that was in the Logan river past carbrook, so in hindsight I should've bought a lotto ticket that night too :laugh:
