View Full Version : A few snapper in the Brisbane River
Fished the Brisbane River yesterday. Raining in the morning but ended up a fantastic day. Caught 3 snapper 40-45cm. Pulled the hooks on a couple of beauties. Also caught a couple of undersized school jew about 50cm, good to see. Should be some good ones around after this rain. Was a good day had a spin in the bay looking for tuna but didn't see a thing very quiet. Got a good feed anyway. Had a really hot bite for about 5-10 minutes, we caught 2 snapper and I pulled the hooks on another 3 than suddenly went off. All caught using plastics and mask vibes fished very slowly.

Nice fish mate. I went out for a fish last night in the middle reaches and caught a nice little Snapper. He went 36cm. Not bad, suprised me in the dirty water.
Yeah benni, I do fish with Ben quiet often, he's a good bloke and has picked up fishing plastics quiet well.

Benni
Mate just talking to Ben Crookshank then, we should line up a fishing trip in the near future around the Brisie River. I've got a 4.35 Hornet Trophy so I can fish 3 around the river, will talk to Ben and see if we can get out there.

Sorry about the delay guys finally worked out how to get the right size picture and copy it, thanks for the help rufus and razgo. Just your run of the mill Brissie River snapper, looking forward to getting out on Friday.
