Leatherjacket Surprise

Post by Whiskers » Sun Jun 19, 2016 7:01 pm

Popped down to a small tidal creek in Westernport today, the objective being to catch some mullet to top up the bait in the freezer.

Mullet were a bit scarce but small salmon and trevally provided enough action to keep things interesting.

It was quite a surprise to catch a leatherjacket in the creek. In all the years I've fished this creek it's the first time I've ever caught one from here.
:)
