Hey all,
Took a mate out to Mud on Friday chasing the ever elusive Snapper. After drifting around for a few hours, watching every move Netmaker aka (Davo) made and with only 3 by 45ish cm snaps in the esky we moved to the Western side for a look. Did 2 drifts with no results, was at the end of the third drift when all hell broke loose. The dead stick I had out took off, the sound of the screaming reel was music to the ears. As I picked up the rod, ready to do battle all went quiet, lift the rod to see what was happening and off we go again. I am in a good fight with what I believe to be a snodger snapper, when I feel the line passing through some Wire Weed. BUGGER !!! With very light mono on, (thanks Mossy) all is lost and the fight is over. 1 nil to the snapper. Did 5 more drifts over this area for zip. Moved to the east side to lick my wounds and ended up bagging a nice Sweet Lip. 40 odd cm caught on a Dayoo 1/8 jig with a Z Man curl grub. At least we came home with a feed.
