wacko Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi everyone, Went out with good mate and fellow fishraider Bill on his boat. Plan was an all-out snapper misson.....Plastics in the morning, Cubing in the arvo. Well, we did'nt get one red fishing plastics....1st plan out the window! We anchored in around 35mtrs and started a steady cube trail. It was looking like a Dud of a day when finally, after around 1 hour of cubes, Bill hooks into a nice fish. It was good action from there on with some nice fish caught..... Bill taking the honours with a nice Red of around 66cm Later into the day, I hooked something powerful with no intention of coming off the bottom. A bit of rod work and 'palm on spool' extra drag got the better of this fish and we were both surprised to see a nice Blue Groper of around 72cm!! Stoked to get him on some lighter gear! Kept a few fish for a feed, then off home as the wind was getting pretty strong. A great day and thankyou to Bill for the boat and trip out. Cheers, Wacko. Wacko.

frankp Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Great report again Wacko, great stuff. What are your thoughts on reds biting during the day, for example around midday in the deeper water, do they still come on or is it best to stick to dawn and dusk as usual.

Salmon_Hunter Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Always a pleasure to have you as a guest. Thanks again for putting me on to my biggest snapper to date. I don't think I even got one that big on our trip to NZ. Def learnt a whole heap from you, and the experience is appreciated.. That gropes was a a fat basterd! Yeah he did drop his guts on the way up.. literally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
