mozza,
reading what you have to say... you are still very excited !!
that fish has probably busted every line it has hit to make it up here, until it came across a nq fisherman!
again mate well done on the snapps.
ron.
Interesting. Good to see some different fish pop up every now & then.

AHHHH The dreaded NQ Fisherman.
Breed of their own I here...
Fearless in all swells, undaunted by wind and water...
No bait too big, no mack slug too small...
No beer too cold, no shapes box too old....
Fish fear him...
Women want him...
The dreaded NQ Fisherman.....
Top effort Mozza, maybe the first of many we will see in NQ waters...

so, again, was it caught just out off cape cleveland?
An old man in Townsville told me about the occasional snapper that used to be caught out off cape cleveland, but only in one spot.
cheers
Mick
That is a nice snapper, well done. Now seeing as though us Brisy guys sent that one up there, how about ya send a few big fingermark down this way....
Marty.
Marty, c'mon, we've already sent jacks and XOS threaddies your way and even barra seem to be getting lost further south....

Mick, no idea, plenty of rubbly ground near the Cape, just one of the bigger bumps I found drifting.
A few 'old salts' I've spoken to have all agreed that there has been the occasional snapper taken in the area including Salamander reef. One bloke said thats the 4th he's heard of in 15 years.
It was a good day's fishing but livies seemed to be the winner - 3 Queenies around the metre mark and a 13kilo GT (my PB by far) fell to live bait while 1 Queenie fell to a metal slug. The only place we could get livies easily was Salamander but it wasn'y delivering much in the way of a fish - the Cape was firing better. The trouble was trying to get the bait down past the queenies.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

There is a simple explanation for this. They are just following where the best rugby league players are since the State of Origin.
So true, so true Dunk.
Driving along the beachfront this morning - its so good its makingme cry...

i am so jealous im turning 50 and still havent caught one of those yet.
That pink thing ia grandfather Chinaman fish and is well known up North to give eventually, bad cases of cigautera poisoning . I would advise to return to the water to save yourself major problems later .
Seriously lovely fish.
Mpozza great catch mate,
You southerners must really hate us here in the north, Awesome climate, hotter chicks and now we start to catchh your only decent table fish.
I now know why I moved up here,
LOL NannyKing.
They've been quiet haven't they? It must be a hard pill to swallow...
The pics going to make a few rounds with the papers as it has generated a lot of interest up here. Hell, I reckon it should make a shoe-in entrant into the Hook, Line and Sinker comp as well.
Mozza
Been catching them for years up here. Nice firm flesh which stays on ganged 8/0's for the reds and fingermark, barra, trout etc etc.
A Ha ha hahahahahahahahah Robbo,
Thats it - put the boot in.
Mozza
Mozza how the hell did it get up there. Thats a nice red there of the snappery kind. I spend 30 to 35 hours chasing them there species and they do taste nice not like your reefy kind. Well done the head shakes must have had you questioning what the hell is spooling you at great knots. ell done mate.
