Scarbrough Snaps 19/6-20/6

[fisho8]

Well what an awsome 2 days it has been. Seeing all the snapper threads has motivated me to get out on the water and the conditions being second to none. I have been on the early shift this week finishing at 3pm and being on the water at 4 and fishing though till 6. Tuesday I pulled up to my spot off Scarby and managed to hook in the first 5 minutes a 44cm snap...not a bad start to the arvo brought about about 6 33-34cm snaps which went back to fight another day plus about 5 tailor and a small hammerhead shark which went back also. Wednesday headed out again get out to my spot baits are in and my Shimano Raider with my pfleuger salt Reels rachet starts screaming thinking oh no not another bloody shark I get ahold of the rod and start the fight which I must say was a bloody good one by my standards got it up off the bottom and up to the boat and low and behold up come what I would say a 65cm+ snap got him to the boat net in hand as I am swimming him into the net he gives an almighty kick and spits the hook after my prophanity and sobbing I still managed to hook up a 42 and 37cm snap and about 7 tailor all fish were caught on fresh squid I bought from Morgans still cannot believe I dropped the biggest fish of the day and it would have been another PB for me but that is how it goes. Maybe next time.I also caught a beautiful woman while I was out there to she just would not lye down on the brag mat haha.

Thanks Dean. Yeah I had 2 rods out and I was throwing plastic's on my 3rd rod problem was every time I threw out my plastic one of my rods with the bait on would bend....I gave up throwing up my plastics out after a while haha. Not to say Plastic's are all bad got a good size flatty on my Gulp Minnow's on a 3/8 5-0 painted jighead .

It happens to all of us mate what I have found is you have to be in the right place at the right time these days.

What tackle did you catch the woman with?

Thanks for the update! Those squid are killing it at the moment- a mate of mine had two 70cm+ fish at Margate all caught on squid. Hope you get that pb soon.

Well done you are going good at that spot for sure . Looking forward to the weekend may turn up that way for a look again was there last friday and boats every where so went back to my ting spot and did well there . But missus wants a big fish for the plate so may put a effort in for sure

Yeah Squid is the go.it is all I use but I burleigh up with a mixture of chicken pellets pillies and left over squid I have had from previous trips which I save. One down side to the burleigh though is the bloody birds come down and steal it as it is floating away haha I Next time you are out just look for the bloke with about 10 birds flying around him that will be me haha.

Mix some sand into your burley and it will help get some of it down the water column and not just float across the top.

Funny you say that, if you were south of Scarby i may have spotted you!

Nice catch mate, shame about the bigger snapper! I was out (well away from the carpark on scarby) early last Saturday morning. Pretty good sesh, 38cm squire, 5 keeper bream, few tailor and a few squire that were just under. All caught by floating pieces of pillies.

Yeah ok mate thanks I will give that a go that might solve the bird issue haha.

Yeah mate I fish down there all the time I don't usually fish the reef due to the traffic it gets. I have found I have done better south on alot of occasions these 2 spots I have found I have always done well.
