Barwon Banks Snapper Baggout

[aerordauto]

After Watching Brian Pull In The 8.3kg Snapper 0n The S/p Rod I Went And Purchased A 7 Foot S/p Rod Looking Like A Whiting Rod.$350?
We Hit The Banks Just Before Sunrise And Started Drift Fishing And Before Long The S/p Rod Got Nailed Bending To The Water Line Peeling Line Off And After Turning Its Head And Bringing It To The Surface It Was A Snapper About 5kg.
This Continued On With S/p 4 Bait Nil.
We Moved Over To The Next Spot And All Hell Let Loose With 5 Rods Buckled Over All At The Same Time And 5 Snapper Boated All About 5kg.
This Went Quiet So We Went To The 90meters Anchored And Burleyed Up.
I Changed Jig Head From A 1ounce Tt To A 1.5tt And Dropped With The S/p
Rod Getting Nailed Again With A 5.4kg Snapper Coming Aboard.
Shannon Started To Bring In Some Nice Snapper On Bait, With Brett Now Sporting An S/p On His Rod Brought In 4 Nice Snapper And Luke Ended The Day Pulling In A Snapper On The S/p Rod About 5.4kg.
A Few Pearlies On S/p 1 Pigfish And Cod On Bait.
The Day Glassed Out With Whales Jumping Out Of The Water, Cold Beers
Snapper And Good Company Made For A Terrific Day Out.
We Left The Snapper Biting Getting Home By 4pm And Cleaning The Boat All On The Same Day.
Thanks To The Boys For Doing The Boat And Fish.
Cheers Mark.:)

[keenfishr]

some great looking fish mate, congrats on the bag of fish. gotta love the SP'S . cheers trav

[Angla]

Go the SP's. That really is a good bag of fish.

I got out Friday with a mate. Cold beers and 6 Cobes boated but could not raise a snapper. In fact the Chooks got 0. Kept getting snipped at the hook and the bait accounted for all fish.

Good days

[rubba]

[aerordauto]

gday dean we started at 40-50 meters then on the banks then 80-90 meters.
hello rubba yeh i left them biting once bagged out and even give them the rest of my old bait.
mark.
hello angla yes mate go the s/p.

[Lacey Blue Dog]

No more sore back at the end of the day from the usual heavier gear. You may look silly fishing deep water with a whiting rod but dont they work.
Top report

Mrs Benno1

[sp nut]

G'day Mark,

Excellent size to the Snapper, great session!

Sounds like the plastics were killing it over the bait, what type were you using? Is this usually the case (that plastics outfishes bait), or does the reverse sometimes happen?

Cheers,

James

[aerordauto]

hello sp nut usually bait wins but the snapper love them.
will experiment more and let u know.
they where 7inch nuclear chickens.
thanks mrs benno and scott yeh we had a ball and the freezer is full.

[Spot82]

[Fishbait]
