I was fishing one of my usual spots in shallow water of scarbs a few weeks back doing well on good size
skippy and getting a few small snapper, when I could get past the skippy. Had one snapper to just under
40 so was hopeful there were bigger legal models around, even though it was late morning.
Was only in about 8m and drifting my baits down when I saw a good size fish come rocketing
in past my bait, turn and circle back and nail it. No hesitation, it clearly wasn’t a skippy
due to its bulk and I saw a bit of pink/purple flash in the sun light and thought “you beauty” might be a size pinky.
You can imagine my surprise when after a brief tug of war a just size dhu popped up. Stoked is an understatement.
I was amazed at how fast it was and also how aggressive it was. Was totally cool to watch it take right in front of me.
