How To Catch Mangrove Jack All Day Long - Tips and Lure Choices

[@timhart4406]

You're a legend mate, i've been watching your videos for 3 hours straight. You're the most informative bloke on KZbin about all kinds of target species and a pleasure to watch. Its getting me keen for a bit of rod bendage. Wish i found you're videos years ago

[@samsfishing94]

Awesome to see someone outside of my local area flicking the same creeks I do. Love your style mate! Snag bashing with weedless is where it's at.

[@mylurebox]

Sam it’s a beautiful place to live and hard to leave as a tourist. God’s country

[@mikaerekiriona8167]

Awesome video, love the little tips and trick you talk about during your videos, gives me something to think about and practice when Im out on the water flicking lines… keep the videos coming I really enjoy the watch 👍🏽

[@mylurebox]

Cheers Michael, hopefully some of it plays out for you and gets you seeing things in new ways. Stoked to hear you enjoy my vids mate. Ta

Up early grinding hey JC.?! Jacks galore...raining & covidised down here..so good to see your having a phat time mate

[@billthomas2598]

I tell you what John you're really, REALLY going to miss the fishing in far north QLD when you get home but still what awesome memories are being created for your family. 'Gonna make this quick....just saw a croc' sounds like a good t-shirt to have made. 😉

[@mylurebox]

I know Bill, I’m gonna be longing it for it every day once I’m back I’m sure. Honestly I’m really in love with the big flatty fishing and offshore stuff too though, so I can see myself getting a fix somewhere there. Btw. You’re slogan is on point there. Hahaaa. I’ll have to get something like that going ;)

Super vid mate I get joy out of seeing you & the fam having a PHAT time bruz...my 11yo's mad keen over this break..stay safe keep the smiles off the crocodiles..✌🤙🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mylurebox]

Cheers mate. That’s so good to hear you’re young bloke is frothing. There’s some wicked AUS made stuff. I’ll have to review more of it to be honest. Might make it happen in the coming months. ;)

[@harrisonsfishing9763]

Awesome vid John, enough to get my fishing fix while it’s raining and wile I’m waiting for restrictions to end. Keep up the great work 🤟🏻

[@mylurebox]

Cheers Harrison. I heard it’s been raining plenty back at home eh, and the lockdowns make it punishing. Thank heavens for KZbin fixes ;) I agree.

[@harrisonsfishing9763]

@@mylurebox yeah was raining for a couple of the days, at least it while the restrictions were on. Fine with rain in summer but in winter it just becomes miserable and cold.

[@dannyzerafa9154]

Great tips. They all apply too the G.C. Little creek I hit in the warmer months gets like that but instead of crocs it’s full of bull sharks.

[@mylurebox]

True Danny! And those Bullies are everywhere in there too eh!! Some biggins as well

[@dannyzerafa9154]

@@mylurebox oh yeah. My boy loves reeling them in so I just stick a bait out when his with me. He got eight one day an a jack on the live mullet.

[@mylurebox]

Cheers Simon. I love your hooks mate. The range you’ve produced make changing baits way more accessible to this style of fishing

[@charliehard3107]

Love the videos I’ve been catching sum nice jacks and Barra in cairns

That’s awesome mate. Did you get Cairns Jacks? I had a go one morn and missed my shot. It’s a beautiful system hey

[@BEN1957]

Love your videos,I get to learn a lot I notice you have a dial around your neck that you check occasionally what is that for John from Ballina

[@mylurebox]

Cheers Ben. I’ve just talked on it in my latest video with that young fella

[@Blueishamredihsan]

This video always inspired all 🎣. Man

[@mylurebox]

Thank you mate

[@mickl9567]

Try out Zerek's Absolute Shrimp 3.5" , mate. What you needed to do is take a razor blade and cut on the stomach part of the lure and replace it with lighter size 1 or 2 weedless hook, preferably 3 gram or less.... just give it a lil bit of twitch every 2 seconds while the lure falling.

[@mylurebox]

Love to hear it Mick ;) thanks mate. I’ll get on that

[@bevanlamb8142]

Awesome videos as always, Ever given bucktail jigs a go?

[@daveychipsngravy]

We have just hit the road mate. At Agnes water at the moment. Would love to connect with you somewhere along the way. We will be spending a bit of time in the port Douglas area too 🤙🏽

[@mylurebox]

Mate how far are you traveling? We are heading over NT now… have you got access to a tinny or land based at this stage?

[@daveychipsngravy]

@@mylurebox we are staying in Qld but hoping to head all the way to the cape. Next destination after we are done in Gladstone region is to travel as quick as possible to Douglas shire area and go from there.

[@daveychipsngravy]

Oh and yeah I managed to convince the wife and I brought the tinny.

[@TobysfishingNoutdoors]

Gday mate, what’s the lightest ya reckon I would get away with for jacks in a little creek/drain in cairns? The max size jack in there would be about 40cm…. But nobody knows, also what size rod? Would a 2-4 kilo work? Keep up the great work! I love these old videos! Tight lines bro 🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣

[@scribblyboysmtb7079]

Mate ur killing it on the Jack's do u have any tips for jack fishing in the winter I haven't had much luck only a few bust offs

[@mylurebox]

Mate it’s a tough game especially in the SEQ area once that water temp drops out. The lakes still produce and I tend to run smaller lures in winter. Livies can be another alternative to get it done when all goes quiet and more punishing than regular Jack fishing

[@scribblyboysmtb7079]

@@mylurebox cheers mate I definitely fish small in winter and cracked my first winter jack and my second ever jack just the other day so thanks for the advice will try a live bait

Man it’s magic up there eh. I dream of those systems all the time. Incredible to fish em even for a day eh

[@the_macs2.098]

What size and weight are the weedless hooks pls. Im a noob and love this channel

[@gurantobennett3513]

I hope you have time to fish the bigger systems up there as well, like the Daintree, that would make a few great episodes

[@mylurebox]

Mate I’m spewing we’ve moved on now I’ve read your message. There’s so much beautiful water up there esp. the back of the Daintree. It’s gonna have to wait for my next return trip. Epic Barra up there last time I tried

[@gurantobennett3513]

@@mylurebox all good mate, plenty of rivers out there.

[@adsmel5881]

Looks awesome fishing 🎣 just that small boat and crocs would give us the creeps no Hobie up there, also time for a baitcaster I think 🤔

[@mylurebox]

Cheers mate! I’ve been quick to move on when the bigger models present emselves, so I’m keeping a keen eye out and asking locals if they know of any big crocs in the rivers I’m in… and yep, you’re right, my reels cop a hammering and a few need to be swapped out :)

[@liamsullivan9272]

Taking my kids to Port douglas this weekend... any tips on which creek to try ?

[@ninjamoves3642]

Mate, quick question... are big creek Jack noted as 'residential' around a established snag? i.e. yes they may hunt 100 m either way when tidal flow permits, but will they return to a log and park up deep and in the cooler eddy on that snag? ..my 2 favourite spots are Coochin and Mooroochy creeks ..biggest going around 60 on both.... cheers, and love ya vids!

[@reddog9161]

What’s your honest thoughts on the native raider mate? I got one because it felt lovely in the shop but I literally hate fishing with it. It’s pretty much been demoted to a creek trawler haha

[@mylurebox]

Interesting to hear mate. I’ve loved the ones I’ve been running but I’m not 100% what make they are from now the Mass produced point has been brought up. I’ve got 3 Bass Raiders and happy as with how they perform. I’ll be checking em out next time I’m in the shops to see what’s different to those on the shelves now. I’ll be gutted if they’ve changed cause I’m a sucker for rods that I like. My other hardbody rods are 20years old now. Hahaaa.

[@forrealfishing4300]

Good video and very helpful thanks champ 😊

[@debbiemyers8589]

Doing a top job, I’d be too scared of the crocs to stand up in that boat😳

[@AbuYousef1212]

Looks like the live shrimp lure was proven lesser attractive to those fishes

[@mickl9567]

Jacks are sneaky tards, hiding in the corners , preying next to water loops , structures and potential hiding spots. they aren't picky eater and will eat anything that can fit into their mouth, it's easy to catch them once you knew their behaviors.
