stickybeak Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Headed up to port for the weekend Met up with Scratchie Friday night and told me the snapper are on at broughton island he gave me some spots to try . So early start today bait tank full of livies at cabbage tree Got to broughton at 7.00 found a good spot anchored up in 14 m . Started the burley trail Fished two rods the same no weight using fresh slimy heads for bait down the burley trail at 7.30 tide change we had our first bite and my young bloke was on and said dad I need help so I gladly took over and I was surprised how hard these big reds fight being my biggest was 2 kg After a 10 min fight trying to keep him away from the rocks he finally came to the net and what a beast. Fished till 10.00 for 3 more reds at the normal 40 -45 cm all on fresh heads been watching to much - big angry fish - this week Shimano bait runners 20lp braid. With 1 m 40lp flourocarbon leader with a 8/0 owner circle hook Rang Scratchie straight away after landing the big one and said get out here mate but unfortunately he had someone on bored that was green around the gills look and had to go back inside the bay bad luck mate Cheers again mate Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clem-pecker Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The boy's must be well trained mate the only time I get asked to reel in a fish the kid's have hooked is when they can tell its a sergeant baker. Great fish there buddy. It sure is God's country I'll be up there looking for my first beaky in Feb. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Awesome fish mate! How can you go wrong with the two deckies you've got! Yes I was very envious not been able to get there due to a mates young fella changing colors in rapid fashion. But it was great to see you get amongst it. Make sure you put it in for cotm because that's a cracker! See ya soon! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
