Matt's Banks Snapper

[Vitamin Sea]

Hi all

A bit late, but had to post it........

Went out with the young fella last Sunday to the Banks, around 4pm, after already been done over by a couple of good fish, Matthew brought up this fish, his first good Snapper, went 73 cm's, a bit over 4 kg's.

To say that he was excited is a understatement, as was his Father.

He caught 5 or 6 more, but this was by far the biggest one

Cheers

Bill

Nice snapper, they are some bizzare markings I don't think I have seen vertical bars like that before on a snap.

If only conditions were like always like that, best I've been out in for a long time.

Yes, there was quite a few boats around, I tended to stay away from them though, that fish was caught in 50 - 55m on a small bombie, most of the other ones we got were on gravel beside a bombie in 80 meters ( hard work )

Where were you?

The pics were only taken on a phone, the colours on the fish were pretty well the norm

We started on shallows about mid way up and then went east of top of banks.(a bit quieter up there boat traffic wise). Enjoyed excellent conditions. head for home around 230pm .Makes me quiver when ya see some size boat's some fisho's managed to get there in.:o

Hi Peter

If catching fish like that maintains Matt's interest in fishing, he can outfish me any day, better than sitting around watching the idiot box or playing games on the puter.

This is another first he caught earlier in the year, kept talking about how it went for weeks, just on 3 k's, he can't wait to get another one.;D

See you at prison tomorrow::)

Cheers
