Jack Advice

[M1CKO]

Hi all,
Well with the warm weather & water temps rising the mighty Mangrove jacks will be out & about. Just wondering what tides are better to target jacks on lures around the goldy.Any advice would be welcomed.

In my experience tide is probably way less important than location, and different locations will fire at different times of the tide. But as a general rule I prefer a dropping tide from half way onwards, I like a bit of flow.

They are certainly out and about around the Goldy aswell, I got 3 on saturday morning, all on top water. So get out and hit them hard!

Mate 3 on surface in a sesh is awsome good work mate.Been putting in few hours latly but no reward yet.Being landbased dosnt help my cause but dosnt make it impossible. Good info given,thanks for your help bud will definitly take it on board.

Land based does make it hard, but you can use it to your advantage aswell, plenty of spots the boat guys cant get to. My biggest fish to date came land based from a spot that boats cant get to.

So true cheyne jones,i too managed my pb in a spot that couldnt be accessed by boat but found numbers hard to come by.

Topwater,it's bloody scary when they hit you while daydreaming.Had a few rods ripped from my hand that way.Never fished down your way but seen pics of some absolute giants landed in the area.Thanks for your reply mate.

Thanks for your help guys.Might try a few spots last couple of hours before low & see if I can get some runs on the board.Cheers
