Tough going in the rough…. Glanville:- after a rough night steam we ended up at the reef started fishing and managed to find a decent amount of fish early we had 4 fish in the boat in the first couple of hours and were sure we were on a winner but after the tide changed [...]

1st July 2013   Alex- Windy conditions from the SW today that had a chill in the air but when we started we were on fire. First cast we got a nice 20kg fish. If only the action was like that all day. It took another half hour to get the next bite that busted [...]

Alex- Last night was the elder Gts birthday so all the fish in the area went to his bommie for a big party and they all kicked on til the wee hours of the morning. As a consequence the fish were slow to rise and feed today. It took a lot of moving around and [...]

Chad- Pretty eventful day out on the reef there were obviously Olympic tryouts for gymnastics cause the aerial maneuvers we saw were spectacular for the majority of the GTs we caught today. Even though the fishing was pretty tough we managed to find some decent pressure edges and good current flowing over the reefs we were [...]

Chad -This morning started off with a bang whilst working one of the ledges to the north of the anchorage we managed to raise a couple of GTs but unfortunately no hook ups. Then one of our guests was retrieving his popper when a Spanish mackerel smashed it right at the boat and almost landed [...]

Early in December Jones’s Tackle staffer Steve and a bunch of mates fished the waters north of Fraser Island. As always in this area the weather plays a big part in what you can do. The first day things were great but after that the northerlies came in and messed things up really limiting the bluewater [...]

Last Sunday Neil and Lyn were out seeing if they could rustle up a few Spotty Mackerel. The Mackerel proved elusive but the day was so calm that plan B and waters further offshore beckoned. A  half  hour run and a quick change of gear to jigging outfits later these AJ’s were the result. The five fish [...]

Last Sunday Lyn and Neil did the rounds of Moreton Bay and Cape Moreton waters looking for sportfish. Waters offshore look good and there where a few Striped Tuna landed near the cape. Later that day in the bay the Longtails were on the chew. The water is still a bit green but as the pics show  if your [...]

Back in early February in a post entitled  ”Amberjack On Jig”   Lyn and Neil were catching some nice AJs. Check out this link to see footage of one AJ being landed and a cool sequence were a dolphin tried to eat the fish and then put on a bit of a “Sea World” show for them.

Lyn and Neil spent the last two days of Easter on the water in Hervey bay. The weather was great for a change and the fish were biting. Longtail Tuna were prolific but the losses to sharks was hard to take at times by Monday morning the sharks were really on the ball following the [...]

Two weeks after Easter Lyn and Neil were offshore from Moreton Island for a spot of jigging. The fish weren’t really on the chew but they still managed to land a couple of quality fish.

A long weekend and a great weather forecast saw Lyn and Neil along with Jones’s Tackle team member Cameron and his dad head up to Hervey again. The weather wasn’t quite as good as predicted with south-westers most of the two days. This made the Tuna hard to find up the island so they had [...]

Jones’s Tackle team member Steve and good mate Pete had a few days fishing up in Hervey last week. The weather was windy and rough but despite the conditions they landed some nice fish.

Lyn and Neil were out off Cape Moreton recently taking advantage of the good run of Wahoo that are around. When the Wahoo went quiet a quick spot of jigging produced this nice Kingfish <

Lyn and Neil spent a few days in late January fishing some of their favourite spots off Fraser Island. Calm weather for a few days allowed for some fishing east of Breaksea Spit and as usual this remote spot turned up a few great fish. All the fish were caught micro jigging or casting stickbaits and poppers. [...]

Alex- Thankfully the weather man was wrong today the 25knots did not come. So fishing conditions were nice all day. We made the most of the calmer weather and chased some GTs early. It took quite a few follows pack attacks and takes before we started converting the fish but at the [...]

Glanville:- After an interesting steam out to the reef we prepared for our day wet weather armour and all we charged out to hunt some fish down. The morning started off better than I expected and before lunch we already had 5 GTs in the boat in some pretty ordinary [...]

The first cast for the morning got the guys screaming a sky rocketing mackerel launched on the lure and screamed off with line before we subdued him for a picture and set him free. Not a bad start and with excitement still high we set ourselves for another drift second cast saw an awesome fish from the bommie edge and absolutely destroyed the lure...

Chad – Awesome day out on the reef today right off the bat we were into some very nice GTs and it carried on all morning. We were fishing West of the anchorage in a very sheltered part of the reef with bombies dotted everywhere conditions were perfect. In the afternoon [...]
