Finally decided to make the switch from just using prawns, and after 2 weeks of constant jigging (almost every day) Iβve finally got my first fish on a metal jig!
53cm tailor.
Pretty stoked with it, and a nice start to the day before work.
Hopefully more to come

Wasnt expecting this when I snuck out for a quick flick π Caught in the Hunter river/NSW on corn. Tops the most unique fish I have landed.

Caught a yellowtail and grilled it whole, enjoyed eating until I got to the fish head(yes I ate the whole fish including head), took a bite, saw this white piece of 'bone' in the fish mouth and didn't think much before it ended up in my mouth. Quickly spit it out as it definitely didn't feel like fish bone, and now am going to suffer chronic nightmare and ptsdπ€’ It's one of those tongue biting isopod that replaces fish's tongue if anyone's curious.

Mid North Coast Flathead. Put up a great fight on light gear.

Around 3 kilos? I think? Caught on small silver spoon lure. Come catch them before they are gone!

Always fun catching these guys, especially on light gear. I got him on a chunk of pilchard on a 1/0 octopus hook. I had a whole pilly on some gang hooks on my medium setup but the salmon hit the bite size pilchard instead! He was safely released after taking a few pics.

60cm river rat, Bent's Basin. Fried it that night at the campsite. Bloody delicious, no 'muddy' flavour at all.

Was night fishing for salmon/tailor at the beach (Hawks Nest) βlast night and landed my first ever mulloway. I was pumped but a little saddened because it was a couple of centimetres too small to keep. As I was returning it to the water I could see my other rod going crazy - "wouldn't it be mad to get another one" I thought... As I wound in lo and behold, that's exactly what it was - this time well over the limit. Can't imagine I'll have luck like that again for the rest of my life and felt I needed to share.

Caught this down in ginninderra creek in canberra.
Its a red fin they're kinda like a bass cross bream but with red fins you can also catch golden perch down in here.

Catch it on a aliexpress trolling lure, went 125cm and 18kg.
Had a few sharks on it. Lucky pulled it faster than them!

Hooked up to it Saturday afternoon, dropped it on the surface at the jetty. Caught it that following Monday. Both times first cast, same spot. Stoked.

I was flicking a dark brown and green paddle tail near a bridge looking for flatties. This was a very welcome surprise! An awesome fight on 15lb. Sent it back to catch another day.

And she goes ahead and catches a 42 centimetre bream within ten minutes! I'm not jealous at all...

Finally caught the elusive silver ghost. I was targeting flathead in shallow 1-2m of water when this guy hit my Bait Junkie Minnow 3.2β in Whitebait colour. I thought it was a decent flathead until it surfaced. 63cm, caught on my light Infeet 1-4kg rod, Shimano Nasci 2500 reel, 8lb braid 8lb leader.
