back cruncher Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hi all...today I caught my PB snapper at 77 cm.caught on a gulp 7”coco ice.I have to thank scratchie,he’s been teaching me the techniques how to fish with plastics properly.although I’ve still got a lot more to lean,I seem to be catching and dropping more snapper than ever,so I feel ive learnt something. scratchie couldn’t make it today,so me and a couple of mates headed to Broughton.we got to the ramp about 4.30 and headed to the bait grounds for some slimy mackerels,got a heap quickly and off to the island and done the usual spots.currents running north and wind blowing opposite direction.wasnt ideal drifting conditions,but we made the most of it.not a lot of bait showing on the sounder either.what did show was spread out.most spots were quiet,but one spot in particular was firing with snapper and rat kings.we got smoked quite a few times by good snapper,but no luck with them.wind blew up about 11am,so we headed home. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Cheers Mick. Mate I am so happy for you to finally land a cracking snapper and a PB for you. We’ve managed to hook up to some monsters on every trip but landing them is another thing. Once you become addicted to chasing fish it really does go from fishing to angling and you certainly have the bug! Thanks to you for all your invites and generosity in taking me on your boat. And once again congrats on a well earned fish! As I say, “just keep casting” cheers scratchie!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 P.s If you measured the fish with the top fin you would of picked up an extra 2cm lol 😝 obviously haven’t taught you everything haha 😂 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
