Snapper at the hump's

[mark10187]

After last week catching a nice snapper my brother my dad and me decided to hit up the humps again turned out to be a great day for me not so much for my brother & dad I decided after last week picking up the biggest snapper on a sp I would only fish with plastics all day picked up two monster reds both 63cm a bonito and countless stinking barracoutta and my brother and dad could only manage barracoutta and one undersize snapper on bait must say I'm now a convert to sp's after outfishing my dad & brother 2 weeks in a row

I think you're just showing off now Bustoff! Two trips in a row!

Two great snapper with decent bumps on their heads too! Great work!

No wonder you'll be sticking to the sps.

Did you lose much gear to the 'coutas this time? And how was the current? It was moving very fast when I was down there last Thursday.

Cheers

Yeah lost well over a packet or two of squidgies and a few jig heads but im not complaining was pretty wrapped with the snapper current wasnt too bad this week last week was pretty hard even with the sea anchor out we were still drifting pretty quickly and i needed ounce jig heads to get to the bottom the only thing i can complain about is that i need to invest in braid i was using 6kg mono and 10kg flouro carbon leader and with all the stretch i missed a tonne of hits

Good effort especially with the strong current. Were you there on Saturday or Sunday.... I was out there on Saturday chasing the reds and we only managed a just on legal red....Go the SP's

We were down there on Sunday and fished between the tide change after about 12:30 everything seemed to go off the bite did you catch alot of barracouta when you were there on Saturday? Every Second drop I seemed to be catching one

Great work guys

Caught 2 barracouta's and some other rubbish... Were you the guys in the pale yellow centre console?? I had the red & white half cabin.

Nice couple of reds!! I got dusted a couple of times out there on my bottom basher, so i reckon theres some very solid fish about. Cant wait to get back out.
