jarvis689 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi all, I appreciate that people like to keep their spots secret but I am at my wits end. I've spent 20+ years catching small reds in the hawkesbury system and never a keeper. My best guess at the moment is to head offshore and drift across broken ground off the northern beaches...? No idea... Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Cheers MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquidMarks Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Are you fishing dawn and dusk periods? (including first and last light?). Most of my legal reds in Sydney are caught during this time (including in estuaries). By heading outside aimlessly and fishing broken ground you might strike it lucky, youre better off doing some reading, follow Rick's snapper reports, he has shared some excellent info (depth, structure, timing, current etc) in them that will get you on the fish. There was an excellent post late last year if i remember where someone asked for help fishing for reds and scratchie and rick just let loose on the tips, try seek the post out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towlersbay boy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi Mate I fish pretty hard for snapper over the winter months out of Broken bay. If you are going to fish bait its best to anchor up on the edge of structure & burley. Lightly or unweight larger baits drifted down the trail should connect you to some reds. The bay in front of Newport beach is a good place to start. I will try put a report up when I next try for Snapper. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
