About this episode

Col Trenaman shares an exhilarating fishing experience in the estuary targeting Mangrove Jacks with surface frogs.

It doesn't get much more exciting, in the estuary, than tossing a soft surface frog into the snag and getting smashed by a 50cm Mangrove Jack! That's what happened to Col Trenaman this week.
