Rebel Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 We arrived around 7am Nice & cool. We caught six Bonitos between us. I caught two nice snapper around 47cm. Went quite for a while. Landed two Gropers around 39cm ( released ) These fish really test my gear. I always take two rods. One for lures & the other one for bait. My mates are bait guys, so they don't agree with me. Off to the Newport Arms for breakfast. Top hamburgers. I was wearing my Newport Arms jumper. You reckon that didn't cause a stir. The jumpers were released 30 years ago by the Newport Arms. Today they are a sacred. Cheers. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkin Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Still a few bonitos around - snapper season definitely started! A couple at 47cm - good fish! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Great work. Reddies around that size produce good sized fillets, and make really good eating. Much better on the plate than groper. Nothing wrong with bait fishing. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 You sure do catch your fair share of reds from the rocks mate. Great job and there should be some big ones moving in close with the dropping water temp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 @blaxland Snapper were on fresh squid. @Isaac Ct Snapper for the Puppy. She was waiting on the driveway, with that female look. Where have you been ? Two Bonitos for the Neighbours. Water was warm. But cold on the rocks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaxland Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Thanks I will persist with bait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 @blaxland Thats why I always take two rods. If something dosen't work, move on. Experiment I think we had four different baits & a stack of lures. I am an old Boy Scout. Be prepared. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
