Nice day yesterday

Had a beaut day yesterday with an early sesh on the back edge of the bank, with the burley doing its thing not long after anchoring.

First decent hookup felt like it got sharked snapping the mainline but then the pinkies came to the party with a couple around 70cms hitting the deck. Lots of sambos following hooked fish in and chasing the plastics to the boat. 60cm dhuie was also dispatched to the eski.

I had the pleasure of releasing my PB snapper of 89cms, great feeling and my day was made!

Lots of fish following the burley trail to the back of the boat, sambos and snapper.

With the quota reached early in the morning the pressure was off and the next chapter was to go have some fun jigging some sambos out wider. Good numbers of fish have moved in and the size not bad with me landing my PB of 1.3m est. around 30kg. Finally got to put a decent bend in my new rod a JM Fallings PE1.5-4, what an absolute beast of a rod.

Boated at least 15 fish then flew back to the ramp in that arvo glass off. Great day out with the fish biting hard in some great weather with good company with a tasty bag to take home!

Beau.

 Certainly was a great day on the water,  but I only stuck with fishing for herring as snapper don't seem to like me much.

Easy as mate, same deal as herring just gotta get up out of bed earlier.
We left the ramp at first light, was anchored by sunrise. First run was 10mins later. Burley hard to start with then just dribbs and drabbs until you get a fish then heavy burley to keep fish around and ease it off again. We anchor up in broken ground off the back of the main reef, predominantly sand. I run leader straight to a set of gangs, then just add splitshot sinkers depending on the current, you want it drifting it down like as a larger peice of your burley, too heavy and you'll send your bait rocketting to the bottom to the snags and shitty fish. Scalies, yellowtail, whiting or half blue macks for bait. Most of the snapper we hook are midwater following the burley trail up. A couple times we've even seen a pinkie cruising off the back of the boat eating the burley.

With the boat more than likely moving on this year I'll be happy to jump on other boats and deckie and share some info
