essjay Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Took a mate out to box head on Friday to chase some snapper, early morning high, swell under a meter and 2 determined mates chasing dinner for 14. After hooking a monster first bait which then got tangled in my mates line, dropping the fish we found out pace and landed 10 , kept 6 and also snagged a rat king. We got a few customary cod, ras and snags. All in all it was a great session. there are some seriously big fish out there on the reef. Frozen pillies on 6/0 unweighted , floating into our burley trail was the method we used. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Great work @essjay, great bag of reds - mission accomplished for Christmas sea food 👏👏. When you’re off the reef at BH, do use lead, or float line and burley?? I’ve never fished that area, but keen to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to get reefed a lot less that way. Here is another one from the same area a week ago. I let him go as he gave me such a wonderful fight. He is also my current PB. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
