hey all,
had an early mark from work yesterday so decided to get 1 last snapper session in before these new laws come in. what a session it was!
headed out to murphys first up. got one at 55 on plastic (my pb on placcy) but couldnt get the anchor to hold where i wanted it so got the shits and headed to spot x where a mate was fishing. he said they had got a few snapper over 80cm so i was silly not to head over and anchor up. they were sitting pretty well on the spot we usually sit so i anchored up at a random spot not too far away. threw the first bait over and as soon as it hit the bottom it was smashed. a good fight and i pulled up a 75cm snap. in the esky she goes. 2nd bait goes down and within a minute of it being on the bottom it gets smashed too. dragged in a 80cm foul hooked snap (that was a mission). 3rd bait goes down and i miss the hit. 4th bait goes down and i pull in a 74cm snap. lost a few baits after that then pulled in another at 82cm. had my bag within an hour so off home i went and left them biting. my mate ended up with 4 or 5 big snapper of his own. bloody good spot and bloody good fish. off to sharpen the filleting knife.....
cheers, aaran.
