With a few free hours, i hit the ramp at Manly about 10am, and headed out towards Harries. I was looking for some surface fun, and there did not seem to be much happening so i headed Nth. Found a few birds in the paddock, and decided a quick troll may be in order, just to see what was around. Had only gone a few tenths when i spied some surface slashes. Two casts and two fat spotties hit the deck. The fish were moving sth, so i lined up again, two more casts for two more fish. I lost/ snapped off another fish at the boat, but by then they had moved into a marine protected area (2 tenths inside) , and man it was hard not to have another throw, given there was no one else around, but rules is rules i guess !
So four fish in all for a few hours on the brine, back at Manly just after 13:00, Spotties for dinner.
cheers

Have not chased snaps in the bay for at least 12 months i reckon Lachie. Hard to find the time, did a few trips to the cape through winter for not much, other than to give the boat a good run.
Spottie fillets tasted great last night though, cooked in foil with bit of salt, pepper, lemon, garlic and parsley ....

Nice work!
What lure did the damage, if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers!

25g raider, think it had green reflective tape on it. I put some bigger trebles on them.

You lucky bugger Axl as i have looked everywere for them. Good feed you got there and a bugger to see them in the green zone. I hope they stay around for a while more as the snapper have been quiet after all the livies being eaten but i have lost 4 over break. Well done DD.....
