i barely ever write threads as i prefer to read them so bare with me here.
finally after almost 2 months of crap weather i finally got a opportunity to hit my beloved snapper/squire spots around peel.
i was at the ramp by 4 and then finaly made it to my mark at about 430.
things started instantly.first cast i boated at 38cm squire which was released. about 2mins later i was absolutely dusted by a large snapper..easily 70cm+.to give you an idea i was using a t curve rod with a daiwa advantage 2500 with 15pound PE and a lot of drag..probably too much drag to tell the truth..but peeled 50m within 5-10seconds.i'll get you next time mr snapper.
over the next hour i managed to get another 3 squire at the same 38cm length along with a lot of bream and smaller squire.
i then proceeded to another spot and scored another 3 squire.2 were dead on 35cm and the other one was 44cm which was the only one i kept for the day.
the fishing shut down badly at about 9.i tried my way back to the ramp to be bitten off 3 times in deep water.felt like mackeral runs too..so everybody i think they have hit the bay finally.
oh and i also got 7 or so really nice moses perch(30cm+).i didnt realise they were actually a good table fish until a guy told me they were superb eating.damn!!nxt time i might keep one for a taste test.
