Hey, Bowly. Thanks for taking us along on this fun, productive backwater trip. Are mangrove jacks not eaten in Australia and, so, are always released? We don't have them here in northern New England, but in the Southeast and along the Gulf Coast, mangrove snapper, as we call them, are highly prized as table fare. Just curious, Chris (in Maine)
Hey bud, they are fine to eat just very average compared to the many species of reef fish that are fairly easily available to myself. Even a few other species I catch regularly in the creeks taste better so I never have a need to keep jacks with how often I fish.
Not many in that area, pretty safe. Others around probably wouldn’t recommend but that’s more so because of the sharks not crocs. The crocodiles are fairly timid.

what a video mate got to love creek fishing
Your friend has so much energy, love it
there's always one old crabber around to come steaming past when you're in a skinny creek lol
Agree
Old mate was in a hurry
i get happiness from this

That looked like a great system - those top water strikes were awesome. I thought there might have been some barras in there - apparently not!!
Jacks can be pretty fiesty!
Awesome clip bowly

You guys are pretty brave putting your hands in the water 🤣 not many crocs there?

@@bowlysfishing Your attitude is why people killed taken by crocs. Crocs can be anywhere in Nth Qld. Silly attitude actually.
Great video as always bowly awesome fish to and I was also wondering what gear you use to catch the barra and jacks?
