dwan8337 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi Raiders, Opted for some lazy afternoon fishing in the Harbour with my little bro. Woke up at 12, grabbed some pad thai and headed for the ramps. Launched at 1pm hit our usual spot, and proceeded to berley up with pellets and pilchards. Pretty satisfied with the results! the Trevs were all on 39cm to the fork. Most pleased with the stonker snapper...the girth on this fellow. Has anyone seen snapper caught in the harbour bigger than this one? measured 37.5 to the fork. The fight it put up, i had it for a rat king on it's first run. Line: 6lb Sunline FC Rock Hooks: 1/0 Gamagatsu circles Won't be out on the water for a while as it will be looked after by the boys at Huett's Marine. Needs it's yearly service, although still 3months short of a year from its last service, it's started to play up. Tight Lines Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydangler Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Nice work mate. Legal snapper in the harbour are rare but at times come in. I've caught them to 40cm but I've seen one that would have gone over 50cm. A few years ago a 5.5kg snapper was caught in middle harbour. But anything legal is good work in the harbour. Nice work.

freaknfish Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Cracker fish mate. That's gotta be the biggest snapper I've seen caught in the harbour, well done. Where about in the harbour you fished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigbutcher Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Nice work on the Sydney Harbour Snapper. They are definately around Sydney Harbour more than say 3 years ago. A couple of months back we landed 4 snapper in 1 session over 40cm. The usually follow a big swell into the harbour washes. Very nice suprise cracking a good red inside the harbour. Another raider landed a 75cm Snapper in Middle Harbour a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffox Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Very nice haul! I haven't had much luck in the harbour lately apart from Bream, Trevs and small Snapper(which I've blamed on the cold water temps, so much for that excuse!) I have caught a slightly bigger red (44cm) up in Middle Harbour, but anything legal inside the heads is a bonus!! I bet that catch made a cold day feel a lot warmer... Tight Lines guys!

Hi Butch My mate landed a slightly larger specimen that my one a few months ago, being deprived from sleep and all...he passed the fish to me and i released it straight back into the water hahaha! He still hasn't forgiven me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
