Left nudgee today around 11.30am. Late start I know but with the weather abating for a few hours, I made the most of the conditions. Got to Mud about 15 minutes later and sounded around, found the bait, worked out the drift line, and rods out. The first fish took me by suprise, being that it took the placcy about 5 seconds after it hit the water. Little fella sent home to mummy. A couple of minutes later I am hit by a freight train on the 14lb outfit with the tell tale head thumps of a big snapper. No problem, its a 4000 stradic, holds plenty of line, it will stop soon, surley its going to stop soon. Half the spool was gone and then the line went limp. Got the placcy back and hardly a mark on it. Snapper for sure and it was a biggun. No more big ones after that. Anyhow to cut a long story short ended up back at the ramp at 3.30pm with 5 keepers from 48cm to 57cm and they all came from the sounder1 picture below. I have include some sounder shots for those that asked about it last time I wrote a report.
