Thanks for the kind words mate. If you casting is on the money mate, u will catch a Jack for sure, the spot you mentioned is a great place to try for them and that first one is always the hardest one. 52mm Scorpions tight in snags worked back slowly and small surface poppers are a great starting point for sure. Keep going mate the harder that first one the more satisfying.

I love arm chair experts, hey. Sitting behind the keyboard slinging crap at anyone and every one wholl take it. Well James, you have put me in my place hey.

How dare I call them what every one else calls them around here. Maybe I should use their scientific or Latin name to save on any controversy regarding commonly used names in different areas. Depending on where you live in Australia James, many species are known by several different names, Ive also heard them called Red Bream, Red Snapper or just plain Snapper in different areas. But I guess that we should all bow to your

Gday Hodgie. Love your work and enjoyed your yarn in perth for the 4x4/Adventure show recently.

What is the rod/reel setup and size you are using for the finesse flicking of poppers?

@chrisharris1117 dude take your head outa ya ass and fucking do some research before you make your self out to be a nob hope you no size limits for more fish then just bream

@chrisharris1117 There are different names for the same type of fish. and here in australia they are called Mangrove Jacks. Thats like u cursing at the Brits for calling Soccer, football ! . its originally called football =)

@chrisharris1117

The fish were definitely Lutjanus argentimaculatus aka Mangrove Jack.... They are very occaisionally called Mangrove Snapper by the misinformed - but never the less are the same fish. Ask anyone about the difference between a Mangrove Jack and a Mangrove Snapper and 99/100 people will ask "What's Mangrove Snapper?"
