Noosa Plastic mission 06-08-08

[Pistol_P]

Headed to North Reef today with a mate of mine (Adrian) who is normally a bait fisherman and has been a big sceptic about the plastics.
The S/W was blowing a good 15-20knots early morning but dropped right out by the afternoon.:)
We anchored up and got a good burley trail going as we were fishing the middle of the day and had thought the going might be tough....We were wrong......
We managed some very nice snapper (13 in total) and I think Adrian is now just about a 100% convert to the plastics.;D ;D

Great when you get good fishing in close.

Cheers

Nice fish there Pete, what time of day did you get them, you said middle of the day? Did you get onto them straight up? How deep?

Hey Wayne...

We left at Gentlemans hours at 11.00am....:P .....Got to our mark probably around 11.30am.

Yes we got snapper on plastics pretty much straight away....In 40 metres.

G'day pete

Got my first snapper on the weekend on a 7 " nuc chook, didn't it hit hard wasn't expecting it at all near pulled the rod out of my hands alot of fun very different to the bait, do they always hit like that or does it very? It went around 4.5kg mark still dont have a clue what i am doing but it is certainly something different.

Hey indy,

keep going with the plastics...they are dynamite on the snapper.

I float my down and some of the hits are very aggressive....they really whack the plastics.

Congrats on the first one.....You will get a heap now.8-)

Well done boyz. Its times like this i wish i had a bigger boat to play around in the depths of the snapper haunts you guys have found. Good day by the looks of it as the morning weather didn't sound good.

Well done! Good to see you've turned a plastics skeptic into an SP fan, too. Some folks seem to think this whole plastics craze is a giant swindle, and that bait will always outfish SPs. If only they knew! :)

[abbot_86]

nice work peter thats a good effort at that time of day!!

[Fishing_Freddy]

Great snaps, hopefully I will get a couple next weekend. I'm going to try SP's again as I still haven't had much luck with, but I'm still learning.
