Winter Jack From The Tweed

[andy mitchell]

G'day all

I took my young bloke for a fish on Wedensday arvo. We were chasing Bream on mullet strip baits under the Tumbulgum Bridge on the Tweed river. i cast up against the second pilon and BANG i was on. The little Sahara screamed as the 6lb braid was burning from the reel it was obvious i had a good fish on . I called it for a ray then maybe a Jew then it was holy shit its a jack!!

we had no net so i fought the fish till I got it on its side and surfed it onto the rocks.

My son and i just stared for a few seconds!!!!!!

the fish went 60cm I did not weigh it but must have been over 3kg

ignore the date on the pics. This was 2 days ago middle of winter.

cheers

Holy crap Andy!

I can't believe I missed this report until now.

Mate that is an awesome Jack. I can't believe you nailed it from the shore on 6lb! What an effort!

Your young blokes' eyes must have popped out of his head.

That is a fantastic Jack.

Thanks for the top report & sharing the info! True Raider spirit!

Well done Andy!

Cheers,

Grant.

That's 60cm bigger than the one you got this summer isn't it Jewhunter

Awesome fish at any time of year but in Winter that's just amazing. Top effort finding it and then an even more superb job landing it!! :thumbup:
