Metro lb snapper

 

After dropping a nice fish a few days earlier when a wave walloped me trying to grab the pink fella it was nice to come up trumps this mornin 

I used shore catch shred for burly and there squid and mullet for bait

 

Started 4.30am set a heavy burly trail hooked up 8.15 I had a few inquires on sunrise but they were very soft on the bite, but he took off once hooked 74cm no secret spot ha-ha

  Still waiting to land my first. You reckon burleying hard is the key factor?

 I defently think the shred made the difference last year a few rays and sharks this year 2 pinks in 5 or 6 sessions I make a thick mix with shred pollard oil water and put it on the rocks so it slowly gets washed in on the large swells and keeps the smell in my area

Berley

not sure about your experience but we've always found that berley will attract too many unwanted species to your area ( Port Jacksons, Ray's, Fiddlers etc.)

Perhaps different off the metro rockwalls?

 in calmer conditions I agree mate it attracts unwanteds, but ruff as buggery and me been the only bloke there I think the burly made a difference I don't usually pick up rays ect when it's real rough (10-12oz sinkers) I hadn't got a snapper from this certain spot till I burlied hard
