Snapper in St Georges Basin

[JimC]

My cousin and I went up to the Basin this morning just after sunup. No breeze and as I usually drift I decided to "teabag".  Chaos reigned as we had a hook up just about every bait. Double hookups were common and we returned most of the snapper as they were undersized. We had 2 keepers at just over 30cm and a little over 1lb each. At 9am they stopped biting. Luckily, as we had 2 pilchards left. Fun was had by all and we had returned over 20 fish, all around the 27cm mark. Jim

Just one sentence and still I had a typo

For a minute there I was worried what you meant by “teabag” but all good. Sounds like a fun session. Mark the spot and return when they’ve grown a bit.

Plenty of good fish in the Basin, been fishing there on and off for decades.

Nice report Jim

Went out again today and they were conspicuous by their absence. Returned 4 but kept a 47cm flathead and a 35cm snapper

Sounds like you were kept busy.
