Hey Dave,
Great fish, what part of the bay did this monster come from ?
Regards, Mark
G'day,
Picked these up this morning......
New PB of 84cm (up from 80 on bait) and an increase from 64cm on plastics!
Sizes for the Snapper were 84, 51 and 39cm, with the Tailor going 35.
I think I know why they call them Zman's... must be something to do with all the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ from your reel!

Mud, of all places. who would of thought?
Dave
Great work on that monster, how long did the fight go on for?
Good things come to those who bait
G'day
Not sure, I'd say 10 mins? To busy concentrating on fighting fair and landing it. Have had "unstoppables" on at that size before and been smoked, mainly due to having older braid on the spool without the quantity that I have now.
I have a 7' phleuger 2-5kg rod with 2500 Stradic, 10lb braid and 12 lb flurocarbon leader.
There's no spot x's, just find the god ground, spend the time, drift it, be QUIET and all will fall into place.

Very nice lot of fish there mate well done. The bay is turning on some real nice Snapper ATM.
Hey Dave! Good to see some old faces still around and well done on the Snaps!!! One day, I'm actually going to land a stonker from that god forsaken place that is Mud... One day!!

Well done Dave great fish,
Life is short fish hard!!!
21,6 Sea Fox WA Pro ....
Hah seems our idea only Dave,s hook the big ones. Well done Dave and good solid snap and a huge PB upgrade and on plastics is even better.
well done on the new pb mate. top fish. those zmans really are the goods.
fishing's as simple as 3 P's - patience, perserverance and PLASTIC!
G'day
I also weighed the big girl before cleaning.... 5.5kg. Is this avg. for one of this length?
Dave
Congrats Dave. You just nailed one of my dream fish on a plazo! Go the plastics brigade!!
Just wondering...how do you keep your Zmans from slipping off the hooks. I really like them for sustainability and stickability but they always get pulled off. My only answer has been super glue which go's everywhere and sticks my fingers together and also permanently sticks the jig to the plastic.
Any answers from you or anyone else.
This is my only complaint with Zmans..
They are definitely fish catchers as you have proved...by the way...what one/type did you get it on?
G'day
Superglue, just be tidy with it! It isn't ideal, however it's one of those necessary evils. I just throw the jighead out when the plastic has had it (takes quite a while).
I used the use the Zoom superfluke in 4'', baby bass color, and I now use the "StreakZ" in the same color in the zman (it's only 3.75'')
Dave
Bout time you were catching fish Dave. Makes a break from working doesn't it
G'day
Brett, sure does mate.... keep in mind the next report you'll see from me will be from ..... Canada, Colombia and Panama.
Dave
