    Been there myself and there’s no way I’d be standing there! 🐊 You can fish either side of the weir but one side is tidal and the other is not!

    Awesome work swordies! 😎

    Got you covered Frank. I’ll be handing out a map with gps marks for those that attend. Hopefully Geoff was paying attention to what I was saying, but then again I do talk a lot! Haha 😂

    Master fisho, surely you can put together a better report than that? This might help.......,

    Curious Baz??? 6P= Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance

    Now that’s what I want to hear! Boom 💥 Thanks Geoff for your kind words. I know you very much appreciated the trip by your quote above! Fishing can be rewarding and frustrating at times but never give up! Especially when you have a passion for something like you obviously do! It was a great day out (late arvo) on the water and I was pretty stoked with our results! A few more trips under our belt will see your confidence grow and the results will come. Just remember the “6 P theory” and just keep casting! Cheers scratchie!!!

    This time of year especially trying to target snapper at night is very difficult. Last time woodsy and I tried it, we ended up with so many tailor we pulled the pin! Best off, coming up here early morning and slaying them! 😝 cheers scratchie!!!

    Fishing

    I’ve fished there plenty of times but not for many years. Shallow divers seem to work well for bass. If your bait fishing either garden worms, corn or crickets should produce results. Dont forget bass season closure is between June and September if memory serves me correctly. Cheers scratchie!!!

    I agree with Noelm but the best time to target them at night is during the full moon. Cheers scratchie!!!

    Thanks Jim! It took some time to put together and maybe 100,000 casts 😂 Practice makes perfect Baz! It’s a lot harder to explain than actually show someone! But NOT driving over your drift is important to be able to work an area. NOT driving over someone else’s drift is just as important! 👍

    Haha, I’d take a nice little 6 kg yellow fin hit on the way home! I heard they were driving home too!
  15. Scratchie
    Yeah mate, either one does the same job!
  16. Scratchie
    Yep, the fishing is that good they jump in the boat! Tag, photo, release and a permanent souvenir! Cheers scratchie!!!

    Without bias, that’s the only leader I use! I actually stated it on the post! Tough, durable and cost effective
  18. Scratchie
    Wonder if he’s still there! 🤣
  19. Scratchie
    A long leader? Or a wind on leader? I use a wind on when marlin fishing only. I’ll use a long leader when fishing live baits for kings, Jew or longtail. This is mainly because I’m not working the rod and is usually in the holder. The extra length of leader gives you a bit more stretch is those circumstances.

    We will be picking a channel 👍

    All Sounders are set up differently but usually a green blob on top of broken ground.

    I’m not surprised those dollies are still around. Never seen them so thick in my life. Nice catch and enjoy! One of the best BBQ fish ever! Cheers scratchie!!!

    Fluorocarbon leader is a must! Whilst being pretty expensive, I have found no advantages to the leader being of that length. All I can say is that, after casting that 100 times and the knot passing through the guides that many times, I’d be worried if I hooked a trophy fish! As mentioned, it also can affect your casting distance which is another key component to catching snapper! Cheers scratchie!!!

    I just write this, maybe it will help you.....

    Hey KC, Actually, a loop knot when fishing sps in the ocean is not necessary and can have an adverse affect on your hook up rate as it can cause a bubble trail. As I mentioned, snapper are very spooky. A simple uni knot straight to the jig head is all that’s required. The loop knot may work in brackish waters or help with action on lures for trout etc but as I explained earlier, fishing for snapper is actually more about the WAFT of the lure floating through the water column. Cheers scratchie!!!
