inspin Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Leave the camera in the car !!! Saturday morning saw us try and get stuck into this Red October caper....The morning didnt start off the best with nothing caught and a move was called for at about 9:30am.....so we tried some deeper water off broken bay and the first fish came aboard at about 11am...after this it was a waiting game with the occassional bust off using 10 kilo gear....put in a lot of hours but ended up with the below catch.....just wish i had some live fish photos. Fish ranged from 1 to a smigeon over 4kg and went down a treat on the bbq for grand final day with the rest of my soccer team. I am never bringing the camera on board again !! Its a curse i tell ya, i have been bringing it onboard over the passed few outings and if it doesnt curse the current it curses those bloody bait stealing birds or the wind gods or the swell gods or the no live bait gods etc etc....

kevvie Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 go the reds.. good bloody catch mate hope this keeps up. How deep were you fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspin Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Thanks guys, thats drummoyne boat ramp...they fed the soccer team and still had a few to give to the relos as well....no one in our soccer team bloody touched the snags....and even though i am a roosters supporter i was very happy with the tigers getting up. We started off shallow but the current wasnt the best so we decided a new tactic was needed and we went looking for some new structure and deeper water....we ended up finding some gravel in about 65 metres and must have come across a fish highway of some sort....the spot has been gps'ed for future refernce...wanted to flick plastics at them but didnt have the weighted jig heads for them at that depth....might have to stock up and give it a go next time. Years gone passed has seen some good reds come up in september or november with the usual october time not producing much....this year we tried again in september and caught a handfull but the conditions havent been the best as we fish out of a top ender and cant rough it and have to be a bit choosey with the conditions, Saturday was an awesome looking day and after stocking up with some livies...we thought we may be in with a chance.......there have also been a heap of makos and birds around which hasnt helped....as i mentioned saturday didnt start off the best and after giving my mate an ear full about moving and trying something different he finally caved. Just goes to show that thinking out of the square sometimes is the way to go. Fish were caught on livies and cuttle fish.

spizza Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Geez, I really didn't think you could catch quality snapper like that off Sydney these days. Excellent. Cheers, Spizza. Edited October 4, 2005 by spizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outnumbered Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 thats a seriuos feed, well done i wonder if they are some of the thousands of small reds that have survived in botany bay since they got rid of the pro's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Thats a top catch and all great snapper. Sounds as though you have put in many hours chasing snapper so a catch like that is well earned. Were you anchored or did you drift in 65 m of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspin Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Thanks mate, snapper fishing is very rewarding, it takes a while to suss things out...we initially drifted and when we came across some fish we anchored. Thats a top catch and all great snapper.
