Nige Webster heads to the Queensland tropics to catch 3 fish in 3 days as he chases some freshwater apex predators, and learns the importance they play in our waterways.
Nige Webster and Jase Medcalf do what that do best – go fishing, and try to break things. The boys chase pelagic fish offshore before turning their hands to target estuary fish. The day takes on a twist when the boys are asked to test a boat in a very different fashion!
Awesome surface luring tactics for cranky mangrove jack.
Filmed on location at Hinchinbrook Island, Jason Medcalf outlines all the tactics required to catch a myriad of sport fish in our northern estuaries. Jason clearly explains the technique of using a lure then takes you out on the water and demonstrates his explained technique with that particular lure to catch fish. Along the way he catches a huge variety of tropical species including barra, mangrove jack, trevally, tarpon, grunter, flathead, bream and tells exactly which lures and what techniques are best for each fish. Plus he explains all you need to know on rods, reels, accessories, boats and more when chasing these species.
Jason Medcalf takes Nige Webster to some of his favourite haunts to catch mangrove jack on surface. Then, Nige heads south with Ben Godfrey for some frenzied jigging action.
