vo2c88 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi guys, Just wondering did anybody come across a report this week where a 9.4kg snapper caught in Botany Bay? Anybody find out any further details as all we seem to get in the Bay are undersize snapper. Sounds a little suss to me. Regards Vo2c88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 2nd big snapper I've heard of being caught this year in botany bay right next to one of the boat ramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk001 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 9.4kg ...nice fish! That'd be close to a metre in length right? I did hear about a big snapper caught not far from the Foreshore Rd boat ramp earlier this year so I guess another wouldn't be out of the question.

vo2c88 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 It would be every fishos dream for Botany to hold such big reds. Who knows? Noobie from memory it went 95cm. I may have to go out there give it a go :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieR Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 A guy on the beach on the weekend told me that his mate caught a 10kg snapper in the bay, he took it to get turned into a trophy/wall plaque and the trophy guu dobbed him in to fisheries so that fisheries would make the spot he caught it a sanctuary zone. . . . take from that what you will. Seems sus to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark atalay Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have islander freinds I play vollyball with, they dive with strong torches at night around Bare Island /Larpa.<br />They swear by it that there is humungis snappers swimming around late at night but you have to steer away from the eels.

Guest Aussie007 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 the snappers are bigger than what they have been we were getting 25-30cm snappers at mol point, not the usual little pinkies but nothing huge over 90cm a mate did pull in a nice size snapper from the bommie at port hacking heads about 9 months ago i was recently shown the pic from a friend on his iphone so they are defiantly around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no one Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I usually pull out 10cm snappers for BB of the rocks, their mummy must be down there. I wouldn't say its unusual to catch the odd monster down there! When I get a boat in the next year I'll certainly be targeting the mommas down there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispy ! Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 There are a lot more reds around 30-35 I'm finding with the odd one over 40, but 9.6 kg.....I'd believe it but if someone gets a red that size there would have to be a pic somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
