    What a beautiful day it was out on the water today !

    Could have gone to Straddy in a bathtub, as they say.

    Even my little tinny was out there. I picked up my very first legal size snapper - two of them.

    it wasn't that way early over sandhills way, wind against tide made it bit lumpy.....trawlers anchored up over there knew I was wasting my time..
    then went to rouse and it flattened out, but whiting few and far between

    Funny how different parts of the bay are so different. Was nearly no wind near me, but I did hear someone on the radio say the bar was a bit sloppy.

    You did well getting snapper - there was practically no tidal run. Was a very different day to a week ago.

    Had to hunt around a bit for them. So, snapper bite best with a good tidal run? I did notice things got quiet on the high tide still.

    yes good tidal flow and clearish water work best for me. I was out in the bay on wednesday and picked up approx 10-12 snaps 40-55cm- not huge but a bit of fun on light gear

    Better than my effort. I fish on light gear too, and yes, they put up a good fight.
