Unexpectedly many people haven't caught a mangrovejack on lure in Darwin yet.
I caught and released two mangrovejack during the first one month of this year.

I caught the first mangrovejack at the saltwater culvert and the second one from the bank near the saltwater culvert.
Both of them were caught among submerged snags.
Mangrovejack normally inhabit coastal waters and rivers.
They like the waters among mangroves as the name shows.
I have fished them at the rocks of Mindil Beach and East Point, Stokes Hill wharf and these saltwater culverts.
The best way to fish a mangrovejack is to go fishing to the saltwater culverts or small creeks with mangroves.
How often did I catch a mangrovejack?
I have caught 999 barramundi, 335 rockcod, 57 flathead and 45 mangrovejack since March 30 in 2010.
Of course, my main target-fish is a barramundi.
The next best target-fish is a mangrovejack to me.
I have never tried to fish a mangrovejack as a main target-fish．
Mangrovejack is a very strong fighter and very good eating fish.
Therefore, I was very glad without exception when I caught a mangrovejack.
I have caught them on hardbody-lures and soft plastic baits.
Either will do.
If I were to venture an opinion, I would say that soft plastic baits were more effective for catching a mangrovejack by land based.
I usually use a slow and pause retrieve for soft plastics.
You can add small twitches.

Thank you very much.
