[@frankbotic9953]

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@@frankbotic9953 yea bigs jacks under an over pass how good aye!!

[@Connor-u8h]

Great vid do you have a live bait spot that’s good?

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Thnx appreciate 🙏 yes just opposite their lake is full of mullet or you could throw off top of woolcock St canal (vinnies) I wouldn't use creek salty mullet they won't survive the fresh conditions

[@danielhicks3022]

So is this fresh water where you are fishing?

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@@danielhicks3022 nah mate while there is a lot of rain water it is still brackish (half salt)

[@michaelbayley8960]

Yea your right the way that first one ran it was decent

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Mate how plump and healthy they must be chillin in these spots feasting all day 😂😂

[@michaelbayley8960]

👍

[@kiwifyvfx953]

did you get them livies out of the same spot you were fishing.

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@@kiwifyvfx953 yea mate threw further down in Lake so as to not disturb the drains

[@MarkKendall-s9y]

Nice vid mate love em jack videos just a quick question where do you get all your live bait from and would dead bait work?

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@MarkKendall-s9y I always try to use bait where I'm fishing. I.e a mullet from a salty creek wouldn't live as long in these fresher rain water drains only the mullet that are in those areas are more resilient to the conditions. I never throw the net close to where I am fishing learnt that lesson the hard way by spooking all the fish. Throw off to the side down a bit in the lake

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@MarkKendall-s9y scent in these areas are hard for attracting fish as it's already dirty but if the bait is really freshly caught and chopped up will work

[@jasonminiken2502]

Fairfield Waters. Sorry but I can find every townsville spot by eye.

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@@jasonminiken2502 correct

[@hrdrnn7927]

You'd have to take home a 60cm Jack bro

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@hrdrnn7927 surely!!! but yea I'm still a student of these Fairfield drains not confidence in water quality there. 60cm at castletown drain for sure
