Woodsy1 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi Raiders Took my mates young bloke out today went to cabbage tree for some bait and they were very timid this morning but we got a few even with the boat that wanted to speed right up close to drop his line for a min then speed off again. But anyway we headed for the sisters but there were boats there already so steered clear of there and headed for the back of the island. Did a couple of drifts with the plastics and did no good so we tried drifting with bait and again no good, it didn't help with the same boat from the bait grounds and his mate either speeding across our drift our just sitting in it on spot lock so we moved to another spot for a couple of drifts for zero again so we anchored got the burley going and before we new it the young bloke picked 3 little plate sized snapper and with trying a few different versions of presenting the bait I ended up with 4 nice snapper as well. I hope I don't sound like a whinger but when I put a lot of effort into thinking about what other boats around may be doing I sort of would like the same but it was a top day and my mates young bloke loved being out there for the first time and getting a few.

Scratchie Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Haha, slow day mate??? 7 snapper and no post of the mako you also caught! That’s a cracking day on anyone’s book! It’s very frustrating the etiquette of some fishos! Driving up your drift, doing circles around your intended fishing areas, or anchoring infront of you! Glad your knowledge of the area allowed you to move away and smack em! Well done champ! Jealous I had to work! Cheers scratchie!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using bait on paternoster rigs, but have some 6-7 inch plastics in the bag to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Cast them ahead of where your drifting then work them back towards you enough head weight to get down but not too much as to hit bottom too quik...takes a little bit of practice but worth the effort 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakelad Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks @rickmarlin62, I'll have to experiment with that and see what comes of it, is it the same approach for say 20m of water offshore as 5m inshore? I imagine you can only do this for slow drifts as depth increases (without increasing head weight..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Same principles slightly different technique....just keep trying different size an weight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
