Snapper On Plastics

[gofshn]

Snapper on Plastics

Fished down the far south coast where my neice and her husband live. we have been fishing for many years together all up and down the coast and have many unforgetable trips, and this was one of them. Well all the planets must have been in line this day, up early 4am then on the water by 4.30am we made our way over to a bommie and around the breakers, the first couple of hours was zero.

But as soon as the sun hit the water a long cast was rewarded with our first snapper.

These snapper can bust you up real quick in shallow water as we found out around 6 bust offs on freight trains that would not be turned and mind you we are using Barra Gear, 30lb Braid & 30lb to 40lb flurocarbon leaders.

We landed 9 snapper to 4.25kg (77cm), 1 salmon 2.85kg (60cm) and 1 bream (35cm)

All caught on Berkley Gulps 5 inch Shad.

Nice fish there Ron. Makes me very jealous. I'm dying to go out for a fish. Keen to get into some jewies whilst they are around. Failing that, may go out west for some bass.

[fisherdad]

Brilliant catch, we have been trying the plastics and now will try harder

[gofshn]

Well Glen give him a call and he may take you out one day.

Weekdays are best i reckon.

Dave keep trying dont go to far out. some times you travel over all

These good snapper grounds without even knowing it.

Some times we dont even use $10 in fuel.

Good Luck

Well done Snap,

I'm headed down the coast next week end to Batemans Bay, I'd love to know were you got the fish.

[CR@ZY OS@M@]

they are some beauty snappers there .well done

[rizzo]

great catch there snap and i also see you like to use

quality gear when fishing how was that saltiga 3500

game to use? also what GLX loomis was it match with

cause it looks a pearler of an outfit

[gofshn]

Yeah thanks rizzo.

The outfit belongs to my mate who i fish with. Good gear but still getting busted off.

My gear was the Team Diawa 2500 loaded with 30lb braid and a team diawa rod. plenty good

enough for catching Barr Like the 95cm one my wife landed on this outfit Lake Monduran.

I bought her a diawa 3500HD matched with a 15kg Rapala rod, But know she wanted the bream Rod.

Who was i to argue she kicked my ass.

Last time i mentioned were i got them, there was 10 boats there the next day.

So excuse me if i dont give the location were we caught the snapper.

I only listen so I can hear your reports as well as Glen's reports, which have me keen to get back up to the lake.

I only really fish up there now between late March and late October so May sounds good. See how I go as it gets closer.

Is it an outdoor activity for the Seabees?

I'll maybe catch you at the next bream social and have a chat.

cheers
