Northwood Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Thanks, no one more surprised than me. We have targeted Snapper but hadnt expected one of that size so close to Sydney. Its a great fishery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwood Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Woodsy, they run very hard. The first couple of runs are very strong. I was worried initially it was a Kingfish and about to be reefed but so happy it wasnt. After the early runs they pretty much give up and its just a steady haul to the surface. Great thrill to catch a fish that doesnt fit the net haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
