Had a tip off that a younge fella got a 78cm & 80cm snapper in the bay on sunday from the saturday before and since then been thinken were did he get it. So after havin a chat at work with marlin mike i looked out and i almost saw sun shining through the clouds so i packed up and headed out to see what i could muster up before the storm hit. I started my first drift in 35 feet of water and got bites and no hits so second drift i got bites and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz the ol 4000stradic on the t curve with 14 pound braid and 20 pound jinkai leader with a big bozo flouro head with a 7 "nuclear chicken went down and out in to the sunset. This time like last time i started the motor and gave chase. Held the tension with a loose drag to not get head shaked (and no structure just sand)and then i would let go loose and he would sit and then i pull hard and jig to make him run and then give chase. This went on for over 20 minutes which is no longer than a 60cm fight by the way and then the big fella came up under the boat i could see leader but by then the nerves had cut in and we sat there for a few minutes shaking and light headed until i grabbed the net and led him in without any fuss. As he tail wipped the deck i sat there in ore at the shere size of him and wondered how i was going to fit him into the esky which was only 50cm long. After a few solo shots i had a few more drifts but the storm (which didnt come) had me thinken i had enough time on the water as the wind picked up i couldnt swim that far with a snapper that size to shore if the tinny had flipped. You can not feel the joy of wanting to get over 70cm and then smashin it with this beauty of a horse. It was the night before the new noon to which has changed my thoughts on the full moon and before idea. Mind you i have never fished here yet and might have to have another at my new spot x Cheers and enjoy.
Well done dobson, great fish mate, surely between you and marlin mike you could give some kind of clue as to where you caught it? Thats a stonker, and as previously said a fish a lot of people dream of!
Thanks boyz the jighead was about a 1/2 ounce from bozo. The time i have spent at work has been hard to concentrate due to my dream fish but i will get a bigger one or i will get board. Tanks chief i do put a lot of time in with my snapper (no squire here) all i need is a bigger motor and a larger area to fish. I still cant get brim on plastics. I can catch snapper but. Cheers PS. Does anyone know how big they get in the bay ?
