ACZ Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Went out today targeting snapper on plastics around the washes off the eastern suburbs. Amongst the hordes of barker and pike pulled out this beautiful fish which went 5.35kg on a 7inch gulp on 15lb main line and 20pd fluorocarbon trace. The fish was hooked right in amongst the washes and called it for a king at first. cheers alex Edited September 23, 2009 by ACZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACZ Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah the fish was a real buzz to land. There was a hell of alot of casts for that fish as we worked all day for it. Targeting in and around the washes can be productive especially this time of the year as the cuttle fish spawn and the snapper come in close. hey chicka, Apart from todays session had not been out for three weeks. Yu told me about your new purchase, sounds like a good boat too and by the sounds of it youve had some good sessions on it! cheers alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregL Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Thats a cracker Sydney snapper on light gear! Use to fish light but smokings start to wear thin after a while. My current outfit is a custom Beast Buster Toad fished over a Branzino 3000 loaded with either 25 or 30lb braid and min 20lb leader. Still get done every now and then but sad faces are less on the boat..... G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
