finin Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Gday all, as the photo showed conditions were the best ive seen since summer and by the time we headed in you could of gone to the shelf in a 3M tinny, glass. As for the whale watches amongst you get amongst it they are everywhere, had 12 pass us today from 20M to 500M away. Back to fishing, ended up with 9 snapper between us, using simple 2 hook paternoster 8oz snapper lead and all on pilly tails, no heads , no midsection just a tail. Fished 90M Nth Beaches. All the fish were extremely pale when bought up and banded meaning they were sitting off the edge, whereas this fella come up a beautiful dark red so he was the only one on the main. Incedently all our bigger snapper were taken a little further past the edge. Once we had enough we went into the lower 60s for flatties and didnt manage one! Plenty of sweep around which the albatross loved and thats about it. Tomorrow will be as great as today will beon the water at 400am. Trade secret for u blokes trying to get winter snapper. When you see the fish traps off the northern beaches varying from 35-80M the boys are traping for reds. Now we place traps on edges not on reef for obvious reasons. Thats your first tip on finding ground. 2nd when you see a trap headset note the depth. Trap rope is basically double the depth in length. So hunt around and if you have a good sounder you can actually see the trap. So that gives you more ground to look at. Target around the area.

brunny23 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Great report mate, were you referring to snapper on the main reef being of a darker colour and reds out on the gravel being of a lighter colour. I mainly target reds down south on plastics and I to have learned to look for fish traps, after all those guys do it for a living and no what depth a lot of schools are in at that particular time.

finin Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 brunny 23. Yes M8 the colour denotes bottom type. The redder the fish the harder the bottom. The lighter sand gravel etc. On way out now not much sea on and not much current going by our speed. Ggod luck all going today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
