    Who saids there are no snapper in the bay?

    It's been a while since i have put up a report but to be honest there hasn't been a whole lot of great fish caught. No matter, persistence is the key they say so this arvo I ran out to mud for a quick flick with john (vic1). It didn't take long and we were on to some action. I only had my light outfits (6lb) with me so it was a bit of a surprise when i got a little inquire that when hooked started to peel some serious amount of line. John quickly started to clear the rest of the lines but i was running out of time so with a bit of craft winding and boat driving I won some line back and after a short tussle netted my new PB snap on the placcies, upping my PB by 6cm to 88cm. We continued on until nightfall and john managed a 40cm keeper amongst the numerous throwbacks. Conditions were ideal out there today and ran all day at WOT. It doesn't really get much better than that.

    Cheers Chris

    I might add we tried our best to revive him for a release but after the fight on the light line he was stuffed so he ended up in the esky.
