CQ Snapper

[Local_Guy]

caught my first snapper today, man they fight hard. this one weighed in at 13.5lbs ... not bad for a place that isn't known for their snapper like Moreton bay. and i know the guys down there would be jealous of a fish of this size.

we had some of the fish for dinner and i must admit i think i now have a new "best tasting" fish on my leaderboard, i can see why you southerners rate these so highly.

Scary things to fillet, I was unaware that their scales are like razorblades and almost sliced my thumb when filliting the fish.

needless to say i'm preety stoked.

Good capture Jase

It is a shame you can't keep just 1 because barramundi cod are hands down the best eating fish

the trouble is there are so few of them left and they mate for life so they are easily fished out in an area


your efforts are paying dividends

I went for a run this afternoon chasing some macks and some squid and got zilch , only one spano about 50 cm so came empty handed but conditions were amazing dropped out to 5 knots with glassed conditions out at 130 pm and back by 5 45 pm
Just good to get out for the afteroon and relax
