Big Bob Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Wish I could take the credit Hookem but photo is of my brother Graham last Tuesday night. Bait was 4 soldier crabs and I bet that wire off the Kelly was singing a treat. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jocool Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Nice fish. Should have kept it alive and put it in a fish tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bob Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 A Kelly Pole is a piece of cane usually about 14 feet long.Instead of runners up the cane the line is tied in loops most of the length of the cane to give it stability and strength The line is usually the same length as the rod and contains a wire leader. You just drop the tip of the rod off the break wall into the water When a large fish is caught such as a Jewie or Jack the wire sings as the fish pulls from side to side. Quite an effective way to present live bait . And yes Joe they are a very pretty fish that is suited to aquariums but if youve ever tasted one I thinkyou would agree that the dinner plate is also a good place.

Big Bob Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Fish was caught at Urunga near Coffs Harbour.Jacks are usually caught in more Tropical waters but I think they may be available even further South. Like to hear from any one who has caught one south of this area. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
