In the Mandurah estuary

Sat, 2008-06-28 21:54

In the Mandurah estuary system we do all right in summer and early autumn trolling the smaller Smilin Jacks...majority are undersize but we usually come away with a feed. A workmate of mine reckons he was getting them up to 2 kg last summer, doing the same thing. Don't know how you'd go this time of year, though.

 The weed beds on the eastern side of Garden Island have also produced for me in the past, again, using the Smilin Jacks. Oh and we go between idle speed and about 1000 revs for this sort of thing.
