Just like our golden snapper they are highly prized by Territory fishos due to their superb eating qualities. In fact many would agree that a Jack on the plate is even tastier than a Goldie! Jacks can vary dramatically in colour depending on where they are living, from burnt orange, to copper, to bronze and dark reddish-brown. Juvenile fish are often darker and exhibit lighter vertical bands down their flanks. As its name suggests Mangrove Jack are commonly caught in mangrove-lined waterways of estuaries, bays and harbours. Most fish found in this habitat are juvenile fish up to 2kg. Smaller Jacks can also be Powerful jacks tough to land but worth effort found way up in the freshwater reaches of our big rivers. Jacks are the ultimate ambush predator, lurking around mangrove roots, rocks and other snaggy areas, in wait of their usual prey of prawns and small fish. Their lightning strike of a cast lure has jolted many a dozy angler out of autopilot and back to reality. But by then its too late and this pocket power-house has already returned to their favourite piece of structure with your lure and youre not getting it back! So if youre casting in Jack country then stay on the ball otherwise your lure box is going home lighter. Along with smaller lures Jacks will take most well-presented fresh baits. If youre chasing big jacks on reefs, a productive tactic is to target them at night using medium to heavy tackle rigged for bottom-fishing, using either bait or jigs. In close proximity to sharp reef the sheer power of these big jacks makes for a challenging fight and they can be very difficult to land. So tight drags and stout hearts are needed if you want to put one in the esky to feed the family. In the Northern Territory there is a minimum size limit on Mangrove Jacks of 35 cm and a personal possession limit of three. Like other tropical snapper species they have a vulnerable biology as they are slow growing, late maturing, often aggregate in large numbers (making them easier to overfish) and suffer from the effects of barotrauma. Jacks and other reef species should not be targeted for catch and release fishing in waters greater than 10m.
