[rosco1974]

took out a couple of mates this morning and a poofter rod for what was an awsome snapp hot bite.well the morning started by mick(wavedance) being late to my place got out of the car saying today was going to be shit cause the servo had no currie pies..we loaded up and headed to the ramp.set the arials up and loaded the rocket launcher with a rod or 6..we headed across the bay in darkness and would have to be the slowest run to the bar sittiing on 22knts..with the pre dawn light just starting to show we headed along the shingles with a couple of boats further up..we got to the start of the dog leg and noticed 1 boat had missed the channel and was in the washingmahine,whitewater everywhere.i kept going keeping 1 eye on the boat in the shit and the other on out heading ourselves.we got past the 1st shitty corner then the rest of the bar was flattish till the back bank with a couple standing up a bit..once out we wound the big cat up to full noise and 5 mintutes later the pillies where deployed...is drift we got 4 i the box,2nd drift we had another 6 in the box then we got another 2 and a perlie..had our bag so we went looking for a dollie or 2 which we got..ended up with 12 squiry snapps 2 dollies and a pearlie.also got a little mac tuna boat back on the trailer at 10.20..a short day out but a good 1 got our snappa bag in an hour
now the poofter rod part..i got this rod i call the poofter rod as its the 1 i use the mighty squid vicous plastic on..well can say it worked really well today catching 4 poofter snapps.colors used where nuc chicken and orange tiger... tim d how can u fish all day outside on plastics and catch fark all and a so called useless bait fisho uses plastics on a deadstick rod and catch 4 in under an hr..really starting to think the arti /plastic guru's are fulla shit or dont know how to fish

Rosco what a crack up! Poofter rod.... poofter snaps. LMAO

Tim D the challenge is out .... return serve, can you catch fish on bait without even trying?!

Nice fishing Rosco and crew!

[rosco1974]

hey boat hog,when u speak to a plastic fisho its all about working it ,jiggin it, twichin it and pullin it lol

[popgun19]

Nice feed Rosco and crew, what jig heads were you using ?

Did you try any winter whiting as bait ?

Cheers,

Brian

Love it when you talk dirty Rosco.

Well done on the snaps mate. It might be Tims captain to blame......You should get him out for a trip and make sure he brings red rock deli chips. Has not brought them out with him recently, about the time we started doing it tough. I need to make peace with my missus who is trying to claim back her space in the deep freezer, which is full of Mac Tuna and jelly beans - courtesy of Tim D's meet and greet latest efforts. Reckons they are good bait. I originally bought the freezer for bait, then used plastics more and had a clean out of old prawns, fillets, thawed once pillies and the like.... that's when she moved in ... It's again the bait vs arti competition in more ways than you can imagine.

Yeah catching fish on bait is easy, thats why i prefere using lures

I do fish bait sometimes (mostly live bait) especially in the Brissy river. Nothing easier than anchoring, dropping a live mullet or herring over the side and waiting for a big jew or threadfin to grab it. Did i mention this method works well

You dont have to be a plastic fisho for that rosco, your always pullin it mate

Love it when you talk dirty Rosco.

Yeah Brian no Red Rock Deli chips mate untill you start putting us on fish. The mack tuna are definately good for strip bait, you will have to try some next trip offshore. With all this crap weather around mate we are going to have to do a few more bay trips now that ill have a suitable combo for bay Snapper fishing. Seems it's only small squire around offshore, think rosco will have to rename his cat "Squire Magnet".

Rosco every Snapper that was bought on board on plastics had our Tuna cubes in it's mouth

[Bull]

Well done Rosco on a magic day out on the water.
I was kicking myself for not going out today when your first pic came through at 7.45 this morning.
Nice to see some Dollies in the mix as well.

Cheers Brett
