peel snapps.

[Why-ting]

Headed out to peel yesterday morning and this morning. Found alot of fish over some hard bottom and mussle beds on the hds stucturescan and pined 8 nice fish for the two session. Yesterday the sharks had also found them and took alot of our fish before we got them to the boat. We also had some good smokings from some large snapps. Also got a couple of jew around 70cm and the heads of some 80-90cm fish.

Fished some ground i found last week up the rainbow and hooked what i think was a big cobe. fought it for 8-10mins and pulled the hook which was a little straightened.

All fish were caught on 5in mcarthy shads in all colours, mainly 1/2oz pogy heads,20-25lb main and 20-40lb leader.8-14lb loomis rods with 2500 sized daiwa reels We stepped the leaders up to 40lb to try boat the fish before the sharks had a munch but still diddnt help that much.

We hooked in excess of 35 solid fish and only boated 8. was a bit dissapointing to lose so many but still stoked with the quality of the ones we boated. Good weather both mornings with a glassout this morning which shut the bite down. back at the ramp by 8am both mornings

Got most of the action on the gopro so might do up a vid with some of the screen shots of the schooling snapps and jew i took on the hds aswell.

Cheers Whytey

Nice work Nick. I might try some of the deeper water around peel with heavier jig heads and upsized leader now.

Well done Whyte boys!

That is the best bay snapper session I have heard of in years. Those McCarthy lures are proving versatile - are they retailing here now or are they still an online job? Sounds like you are applying your usual deep jigging technique. Awesome stuff guys.

Hey ollie, was a pretty good couple of mornings. We were just finding the fish on the structure scan and casting to them. The Mcarthys are my favourite plastic. 5in shads are my fave profile and have caught me jacks in the sticks rigged weedless, flatties, jew and snapps jigging off the bottom and slow rolling for barra. Very versitile lure mate. I think that nomads may stock them otherwise get them offline from west Aus mate.

Cheers Whytey

A great couple of sessions there Whitey. There are some good sized fish lurking in the Rainbow. I have pulled a big GT and lost a number of solid fish over the years

You certainly do better than I do at Peel. Last visit two weeks ago I managed one undersize squire and 3 grinners!

[daki23]

good effort mate.

If you are happy to share some light, are you able to point me to which part of the peel is good for snaps, I've went on Sunday for the first time without much luck as I"m a bit clueless where to look.

cheers

You found good snapper country and must be HDs stucture scan's big helper...
Thanks for post and Pic, forwarding to see your GoPro vid post up soon...

[Coodgee]

would love to see some photos of what a snapper looks like on a structure scan image. that would be very interesting.

[Agrav8_and_Lulu]

Nice work, seeing photos like them, makes my erg get stronger, to land my first big snap.

You got the moon phase worked out and proven now and that side scanning system is the bomb. I only wish i had the bucks to change over but boat loan maxes me out to date but one day i will fall onto the school but i like you boyz are hookin em as after brim its a good shake up on the gear but the last few months crikey you have brained em. Well done Nick bloody good to watch to. Cheers DD.....

Another great session mate, Did you manage to get any weights or lengths on some of those Snapper?? They all look like 70cm+ models.
