Snapperless Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The quest to catch a decent snapper from the rocks was acheived on Thursday evening. A 51 cm snapper was landed at Maroubra. I fish the bottom using squid for bait. I run 30 lb braid and 40 lb black magic leader. A long cast past the reef and onto the sandy bottom produced my fish.

big Neil Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 That would have been very exciting off the rocks mate. Looks like it's in really good condition too. BN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapperless Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 The flash on the phone enhances the fish colour. The reel is a shimano ultegra 14000. The braid is Sunline super pe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houdini Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 how do you like using the casting cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapperless Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Used the casting cannon when I first bought the rod (Assassin beach Master), took a bit to get used to. Need two wraps of line around the nipple to hold the 5 oz weight. Now I find the index finger gives me more control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houdini Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 so you don't use it anymore? and it's not strong enough for 5oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapperless Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yes not used any more, could only handle 5 oz weights with 2 turns around nipple. One turn would slip when casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(same line, rig , casting method ) reason im asking is because i want to buy one eventually . thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
