chrisawright Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Went out for fish early today off Sydney targetting snapper on the soft plastics. Caught two good ones - 8 & 7kgs plus a few smaller fish and some big trevally. Tackle - Daiwa Sol rod 10-17lb, Daiwa Certate 4000, Nitron 14lb braid and Gulp Jerk Shad in Lime Tiger.

Hugeted Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi There, Great fish!!! How do you catch on SPs in the ocean. How deep was the water? Do you let the SP sink and then just wind it up? I'm new to SPs and want to find out more. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisawright Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi There, Great fish!!! How do you catch on SPs in the ocean. How deep was the water? Do you let the SP sink and then just wind it up? I'm new to SPs and want to find out more. Thanks. There's been a couple of good articles on snapper on SPs in Modern Fishing and Fishing World over the last few years. From memory Scott Amon did a good piece some time back which goes through the technique, tackle etc. Basically look for shallow reef (5-30m) and areas where the reef hits gravel patches. Fish th SPs much like you would for flatties except allow time for the jig to get down and I've found you don't need to work the jigs too hard. You'll also get plenty of by-catch (trevally, kings, amberjack, sergeant baker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
