snapper off the goldie

[blue_rogue]

went out on sunday afternoon out to the 24's off the Gold Coast Seaway. the winds were about 10-15 knots and the seas were 2-3metres of swell but there was very lttle chop, thank god. i was using pillies for bait and also tailor heads. the result for the afternoon was the best snapper i have caught to date. the biggest went 8.5kgs and one other about 3.5kgs and also two smaller about 2 and 1 kilograms respectively. was a very productive afternoon.

Blue Rogue,

Quick and easy way to minimize (if you are running windows XP) is to download the Image resizer tool from Microsoft at this site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Then all you do is right click on the image and chose the size, and bob's your uncle...

Cool catch.
So back to the fish. Were you drifting (I'd assume as anchored in 3M would worry me) if so did you run a paternoster rig with a huge weight or floatlining?

You must have a few decent GPS marks off the Seaway. I wish I could find the spots like the ones you have as I fish out of the seaway on the 18's and 24's and all I seem to catch are undersize Squire and Tailor. I would love to catch Snapper like the ones in your avatar. Did you catch those 2 fish off the Seaway as well.

I would love to see the photo's of the 8.5kg Snapper you caught on the weekend.

Dear Colorado, I can't get the bloody photos off the work computer, something playing up. Will have them fixed up by the weekend.

Back to the sanpper. No they were not on your mark, i was about 3km north of there. The Big fella was a great fish. When are you gonna come out again you sook, or is my boat not good enough. send me your email address so i can send the photos over.

Give my a buzz.

All you other boys, the fish were caught on a float line, two hook rig. 3/4 oz lumo sinker. Plenty of berly. I think it was so good becasue the weekend was so rough with the big southerly swell, and was fishable by sunday arvo as the weather cleared up.

Photos will be up by the weekend.
