Scratchie Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 G'day raiders, Just another quick report. Headed out Friday arvo with mate Dom in search of a few snapper. Conditions were far from ideal with a 15-20 knot ssw wind and seas at times pushing 2m but we found a spot to hide and drift with the aid of a sea anchor. Casting sps with the wind at our backs helped cast a mile but we struggled at first to find any willing takers. A few tweaks to our weights and managed to find some bait and the fish started coming! Not the biggest snaps but still enough for a feed in trying conditions! I also caught a weird looking trevally that has been identified already on the aquarium section. (Cotton mouth trevally) Yesterday I also had reports of solid reds chewing there heads off up Broughton Island. Looks like snapper season has started early up here! Tight lines, cheers scratchie!!!

Rah Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Great work in not ideal conditions Scratchie. Saw a post on the dpi' s Facebook page about cotton mouth trevally being a unusual catch at a central coast fad the other day, must be a few around.

And for 2-3 hours saves a lot of cleaning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
