GordoRetired Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Had a rather late start on Sunday, not getting on the water till around 10.30, terrible. Headed out off Curl Curl on Iggys reef. Could not believe how much current was running, even with a decent amount of lead we had our lines way out back. Fished with pillies, and were soon into some undersized Snapper, that irritating size where you know that baked whole it would be a great meal, but the rules are the rules, so back they go. Hooked into a couple of very big Sargent Baker, one going over 60cm. Then I scored the first of the nice Snappers. This was followed by a few more throw backs untill my Son hooked up to another nice fish. Overall not a lot of fish caught but enought to make it interesting, a PB Snapper for me and a PB for my Son.

Scratchie Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Well done to you both! A shame you didn't put the baker on the mat as I think the record is 51cm! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Couple of superb eating reddies there lads. Hopefully the current will back off a bit so you can get some on floaters. Regards Stewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellzy94 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I've seen a few large bakers too, recently! A mate had one take a 40cm live yakka, whole. Some nice snapper, and congrats on the PBs! Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
