[Snapper]

My first report. I've not caught anything worthy till now. Having taken a good deal of info from here over the years I'm happy to finally have something to show.

Snapper on soft plastic. A 5inch sqidgy whip bait with 3/8 jig head. Good fight on the Certate 2500.

Went 80cm.

Very good boats, very happy with mine. Having a Merc you must have got it from Water Sports Marine. Good guys there.

[Hairtail at Jerusalem Bay]

Hi All

I was fishing Jerusalem last Saturday arvo from about 4 - 6pm and 2 medium hairies came over the side (with about 5-6 lost at the side of the boat, one of which was a monster). We left them biting at 6pm when we motored off. Saw at least one other caught in another boat (looked to be about 6 ft long) and a guide boat seemed to be cleaning up too based on all the hooting and hollering.

Not doing anything special, just pillies on gangs with a small glowstick 1 ft above the rig.

So they're around.

Hi Mondo.

Good catch, Yeah they tend to spit the hooks and thats the crap thing, I usually let them take a little bit then pounce, Hopefully Ill be out Saturday night will be launching at the delabora marina in Akuna Bay.

Sam, it was really dumb that we forgot them. Where were you? There were only a couple of boats there and 1 left during the night. There was also a boat in line with Pinta Bay.

haha.. Hopefully I am out Saturday night give it another shot before we pack up for the winter season

Thanks Sam but i think if we forget them again we don't deserve any help at all. My son is still abusing me for that. We might go out as my wife and son have been nagging me given the Hairies are coming to an end.

When we left on Sunday morning i did wave to you 2 but you may not have noticed.

Actually, as i think about it, not bringing warm clothing is up there with not having bait!!!!!

Might see you out there. Our boat is called Eeyore.

Hi Harold,

When would the hairies end this year, Weird they started very early this year, I was usually catching them heaps around July and August.
