First night fish
I've been going out for the last 3 weeks around either dawn or dusk trying to get myself a snapper without any luck yet have caught black ass and a decent flathead but no snapper and after having to come home at dusk a fortnight ago on a flat calm evening becanuse I didn't have any lights I decided to replace all the lights wiring and all so I can stay out in the dark. Knocked off work and got the boat and headed down to woodies shot out behind the islands and got anchored 11m around 5, I knew the full moon was not going to help with the snapper but I thought the light would be handy I had a awesome burley sock I'd made myself and got to cubing up mulies around 7:30 when I was starting to think how long should I hang around for and one of my Rods was getting a little movement so I picked it up and started winding slowly and could feel something so I just pulled it up real gentle thinking it was another flathead then it got to the surface I don't think it knew it was hooked until it saw the dinghy all I saw was a white flash as it took off back for the bottom, I got it back up again and it took off back down again fought it back up and it was done, except I netted it and it just tore a hole in my cheap bcf net so I grabbed a rag and just grabbed him by the mouth and pulled him in. Still no snapper but my boats first dhue for me not too bad either at 68cm. YEWWWWW
