Mud Snap, what time of the year?

[Didley]

Can somebody tell me what times of the year snapper are caught at Mud Is., do they go into summer and what happened to “Jacks at Wello” post, was someone telling porkys?:-X

All year round for the snap’s, but the bigger ones in the cooler months for the bay. Winter …

Who really knows the answer? You can't generalize and say winter is better or visa versa IMO. Snapper are affected by so many influences. If you said winter, I could throw a few variables that make summer the preferred time to catch a big snap, such as loads more jelly fish (yes I have caught snaps that spew jelly fish all over the deck as I remove the hook!) and more rain with summer storms to muddy the water. And we all know that clear water does not do you any favours, as have been the reports over the last few months.

I think two main influences are bait schools - where you find the bait you are also likely to find the snapper - and snapper spook very easily, especially in clear water - irrespective of the time of year in Moreton bay which may be different in other fishing grounds.
