hey guys...
ive heard alot about squire and snapper been taken lately for the past frew months... i was just wondering how some people call them squire and others snapper... maybe its because a 10cm squire sounds bigger when its called a snapper???i know that squire is the juvenile name for snapper... though is ther a specific size when a squire is then called a snapper?? or is it when they get that characterising oversized bump on their head??
cheers, troy
Hey
I always thought that a squire becomes a snapper once it gets that bump on its head..
I dont think there is a specific size when a squire becoming a snapper though...
Just my opinion....
bump dosen't mean much.Quite large fish come in clean no bumps or lumps fairly often.Probably fish 3kg upward deserve the snapper tag.
Depends on when and where you were born, variety of names but the DPI in Qld decided to drop the name squire and call it snapper when they dropped the bag limit from 30 to 10, now 5 but soon to be 2 from gossip around town. Used to be any fish under about 3lb was a squire or unless it had a decent bump then called a snapper. These days I have dropped the name squire to save confusion. But then again I have been dow to the local supermarket and at last count have seen at least 9 different fish all sold under th name of snaper - red, golden you name it.

One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.

I'll stick with anything over 70cms is a Snapper. I've seen Snapper at 12kgs with no bump.
