The mangrove jacks were in excellent numbers in the stretch between the lakes this week and Jason Miller (below) was one of the fortunate anglers who were there when they were firing. Jason was floating out a live biddy from his boat on Saturday night when this 2.1kg specimen tried the usual Jack 'hit and run for structure' tactic, this time without success.

Local angler Ben Nothling (below) did well at The Hards on Saturday, boating snapper, parrot fish, teraglin jewfish, pearl perch, yellowtail kingfish and this nice 7kg mahi mahi or dolphin fish. Ben, who was armed with a Wilson Live Fibre rod and a Shimano Baitrunner 6500 reel loaded with 30lb line, was using pilchard floaters as his main draw card.
Mahio Mahi or Dolphin Fish

And a few of the lads from the Noosa Offshore Fishing Club did an overnighter at Double Island Point on Saturday and in a couple of dynamic but sporadic sessions boated cobia, moses perch, parrot fish, Maori cod and, as per the photos below, snapper and coronation trout. Pictured are Robert Wilson (below left) and his son-in-law Kent Deere with a 4.7kg 'Knobby' and a 3.5kg trout. The guys tried squid baits and bonito fillets but most of the fish were taken on pilchards.
Snapper Coronation Trout

The Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club Fishing Club booked out Cougar One for a three quarter day charter to North Reef on Saturday and club member Lloyd Dumas was very pleased to boat this standout 7kg snapper during the trip.
Lloyd wanted to try out soft plastics offshore for the first time and, as you can see, did very well with a 5 inch nuclear chicken. His outfit was a Berkley Drop Shot rod and a Shimano Symetre threadline reel loaded with 20lb line.
