Jack info

Hi Guys

With all this Jack pic's on the forum I have a few questions
1 Time of day. Looks like most fish are taken in the day or is the night better?
2 Tides- What tide seems to be the best time to target Jacks?
3 Lure- What action should I look for in a lure. Tight, wide wobble, twitch?

Sorry for the question but just trying to put some info together.

Hi mate,

Try to give u some ideas

- They get close to the coast when the water color is copper or milky, they hate blue water.
- If the water color is blue, try go deeper from outer edge, but then u got higher chance for getting a grouper.
- Whenever the water color is right, u don have to worry about the timing, they attack your lure even noon.
- Water movement is essential, some current is a must.
- Look for depth contradiction as point, they like shadows and ambush the bait. e.g. around big rocks or drop off
- Finally, always prepare to fight, u only have 1 second to react.

Have a good fight!
Cheers mate.

Re lure.......they take whatever they see is moving, your objective is just to put the lure in front of their nose........then fight hard.

Generally speaking, u'll need 2 types of lure during your trip.
A. Floating Minnow (a Must during milky water, coz you don need to dive deep, also higher chance to land the fish)

B. Deep Runner (in case they are not hanging around the shallow rocks, you can approach them from deeper run, but your chance of landing them is samller as they have more advantage then you)

Re Color, whatever you like, they see it, they take it.
