I hope we all didn't pay too much attention to the BOM, because today was perfect. Headed out this morning with a mate of mine, Leigh (Colorado) and Crossed the seaway about 5am We had our first baits in the water by 5.20am. Fish were on with Trag coming up quite regularly. Then after about half an hour the baitrunner was screaming and we new a better fish had taken the bait. After a short fight a nice 5.5kg snapper surfaced.
Fish went quite after that so we decided to move to another spot that regularly holds good bait schools. Just like last week, before the pick had even grabbed both of us had solid fish hooked up. Mine went straight to the reef and i could feel him rubbing the line, though the 60lb leader was tuff enough and a nice 4kg snapper came up. Leigh had a much larger fish on and was absolutely getting smoked... Straight into the reef and the game was up. The anchor didn't grab so we moved over the reef again. The pick again hadn't grabbed and i had another solid fish on. Good fight and came a nice 5-5.5kg real knobbie snapper.
Had a good day bagging out on Trag, three solid snapper and also getting a nice Maori cod.
Have just finished eating the Maori cod and it was beautiful.
