That couldn't have been the bay. There are no snapper left in the bay apparently. Or anywhere for that matter.

There's been some good fish caught out at Harry's recently. I was out there last weekend (for a doughnut, sadly) but a boat that was drifting the same structure as I was pulling in some decent fish. A couple of weeks before that, I landed my first legal jew out there and an hour later got bitten clean of by a member of the razor gang that hit so hard and fast that it made the jew feel like a whiting!
Berley? so you were drifting the baits down?
Bloody nice catch well done guys I wish I could do that. Ill just have to keep trying I suppose ;D;D;D !!!

Well done jlbird.
Mate, even on a busy day, sound around away from the crowds. I hit Harry's on Good Friday, along with about 3600 other boats. It took a bit of time to find some fish/structure away from the crowds, but once we did we cleaned up on the sweetlip, with a few legal squire along the way.

Great catch there mate. Lots of good snapper coming out of the bay recently, and seems the snapper ban could now be paying off. Midweek is the only was to go aswell, otherwise there's just too much traffic which spooks the fish. Im keen as beans to get back out there, work is just too dam busy.
Again, top effort :thumbup:
