    There was a report earlier in the week from last weekend Troy...reckoned is was running at 1.5 kts and it took 2x12 oz snapper leads to get the bait down. I'm taking a few larger snapper leads just in case, but intend to float line anyway

    Cheers

    LMFAO Well whay can I say - I dont bottom bash in the summer time so I am looking for the current lines. IMO the snaps and pearlies should be given some respite during this period when there are better things to be chasing as they already get a pizzlin in winter but I suppose some dont know any other way to fish or how to target them

    Better spots out there to look at than on the bank itself for bottom vermin


    Cheers

    Greg
