Friday morning Mangrove Jack with Storm SP

Assalamualaikum and G'day! After 9 hours of sleep, I woke up early this morning at 6am. My plan this morning was to hunt for Jacks, Tarpons and Barramundi. After a quick breakfast (Honey Stars and milk. LOL) I left home at 6.20am. My preferred spot was at a new bridge in Seria where last two days ago, a Barra got loose from my Prawnstar lure. Unfortunately, no Barra was sighted, only a 500g Tarpon was caught with my Prawnstar. While I was casting, I felt uneasy and needed to drop a bomb. So I stopped and zoomed my way to OGDC (the only "clean" toilet in Seria I must add). After polluting the OGDC toilet where it was just cleaned by the cleaners, I resumed casting but this time at a constructed area next to a bridge. There, not a single fish wanted to nudge my Storm soft plastic lure. I had to move again as my head was throbbing due to the lack of fluids. The final spot I went was where I first started fishing and there I caught 2 decent size Mangrove Jacks. There was so many bait fish swimming around and predatory fish could also be seen chomping on it. I took this advantage to cast at the area and was quickly yanked by a 500g Jackaroonie. After taking a few pics and releasing the Jack, I threw another cast and BAM! another strike. It was another Jack but this time it weighed in at 400g. It was nearly noon and my pregnant wife was expecting for me to bring home fried mee and kuay tiaw from Ah Tong. Until next time, enjoy the pics. (^^,)

Nice Jackaroonie!!
