Murphies and old man snapper

[Burley_Boy]

Great stuff Brett.
Curious about your burley technique (not the heaving in the garden, the other one...)
I suppose it depends upon how deep you're fishing and the current but I guess you're in about 40M of water with light current so do you use a burley bucket, drop from half way down in a burley bomb or do you toss out bits of your brew every so often?

mmmmm Murphies !

and Brett, did you attempt the World Famous, " SILENT SPEW " ? NO, I bet you didn't

That is one ugly mother ole man snapper there Brett. Too ugly to keep, but then again, too ugly to let loose to propergate the species. Sorry, I had my phone turned off, so you couldn't call........? apparently

Kinda makes ya wonder why the fish taste so good, considering the type of bait and berley they chew on.

nice work for the Double 'B' team.

cheers Phill

Craigie,

Actually we did try to call you but we couldn't find where you were - NO MOBILE.

BB - I'm a newbie to floatlining for snapper but I've done it so far in water depths from 15m to 55m. I guess it all depends on the current where you are at the time you're fishing. We had no current at 55m and it was possible - once in 20m it was racing so fast it wasn't really working.

The general principal is surface burly bucket or pot on the boat and small cut pieces thrown out. The next is the waiting.

Phil - it was loud - and came out my nose
