Well done Mate

Cheers

Neil

It will have to wait another day, I was only fishing with the light stuff today. He nailed a little 4inch swim bait, just goes to show nuclear chicken jerk shads aren't the only things that catch big snaps .

Thats a top quality bay snapper mate. and on 6lb

What plastic were you chucking? and what size leader?

12lb leader, The plastic is a little 4 inch swimbait called a Matt Lures Matt Minnow in Natural Minnow colour. Something a bit different, its one i bought in from the states, im not sure if they are available locally.

great fish mate, is it just me or is that a sizable lump on its noggin for a bay fish?

[SURLY]

well done Chris, thats a nice snapper for the bay. Its been quite quiet for us around mud this year, hopefully it is just a late season. Did you catch many small snapper. the last 2 times we have been out we have caught 1 keeper each time around the 70 to 80cm mark but very little else (apart from grinners). Not that we are complaining but it does make it appear quiet on the water.

Interesting plastic you have there, i too have been having more luck with plastics not in the "gulp" range

Once again well done on your catch

Geez mate your camera man is quality..........what a pic

All I can say is lucky you put that particular plastic on....especially with your doubts about it's looks and performance......

[bayfisher]

Great fish and congrats for trying to revive it, what a rush hey?.

It's always nice to see a big one swim away but we just couldnt get him to kick so its a little dissapointing. It was a quiet rush once he was in the net but a few anxious moments when i was down to the backing.

Cheers Chris

We had quiet a few throwbacks yesterday and managed another 40cm as i said in the report. I did also lose another fish that took a screaming run that was a definite legal and probably a nice fish as well but my leader knot let go. I'm sure this was due to my poorly tied knot when i was quickly re rigging. I wouldn't call it a hot session but after reading all the reports of late we had actually expected a quiet session and were pleasantly surprised by the amount of action.
