F%#K'N JACKETS

We got a weather window yesterday, and ran to the grounds with a cool westerly wind, that dropped to nothing by mid-morning. The first hour the guys released a few rats well under the 65cm limit. I found a patch of nice size kings that were eager to bite, but they were mixed up with a big school of jackets that were also willing to bite.

We started fishing with about 8 or so outfits. Buy the end of the session we had only one rod and reel that had enough line left one it to reach the bottom, and that included re spooling 3 of my reels and 1 of the guys. Add to that 25 plus jigs, flouro leader and snaps. The jackets would bite you off on the drop, on the retrieve, even when fighting a king.

The final count, 12 nice keepers around 4/5kg, with 2 good ones over 90cms, 1 bonito and only 1 jacket. We just made it in before the wind and rain, it could be a couple of days before we get out again. Meanwhile I'm heading to Freddy's Fishing World to restock the boat with line and jigs.
