Hey Mark there like Fingermark I'm hoping to get something bigger soon

haha - I had to look up fingermark - didn't know it was another name for mangrove jacks
Good luck with catching the big ones. How do you prepare them?

Hi Mark
Fingermark and Mangrove two different fish
Cheers Bob

o I see. was mixing that up.
they seem to belong to the same family though.

Hey Mark like Bob said there 2 different fish, the jacks move out to the reefs when they mature . I've seen them at 10 kg and apparently they get bigger, I just fillet skin and bone then flour, egg wash and panko bread crumbs and cook lightly in oil, yummy.

G'day Hungover
Biggest Jack I picked up on Morton Is reef 11.5 kg
Pull like a runaway freight train.
Just moved so will post pic later
Cheers Bob

Nice one Bob can't wait to see photo the guys catching the big ones reckon these are the only ones that they can catch, the others break 10/0 hooks with 150 pound brade and electric deck winches
