james7 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 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 Peter 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
