night fishing 4/1/12
had another great day/night with saltwater charters probably the last for a while 
weather started of great but got rather lumpy but not unfishable
anyway the storm the night before must have made the fish very hungry. started in the 40's i landed an undersize dhu a seargeant baker and a yellow striped fish that i hooked in the tale all on the first drift we decided we were warmed up enough and headed to the 100's. this is where it all started. first up my brother comes up with some stonker blackass on a double header would have knocked of the balckass winning the comp hahaha
a couple of snapper were landed and then of course my brother drops down 5 secs then up comes a double header of snapper
by the end of the night he was sea sick and missed some of the best/frustrating fishing i've seen.
we moved to the next spot in 110 the sun was setting and the fishing was on
we dropped down and before we could flick the bail arm over all 7 of us left fishing hooked up stayed like this for for a couple of hours. i managed 2 double hookups all 4 fish realeased well and fianlly landed a size one plus a few more most realeased.everyone on the boat was hooking up usually double headers most of the fish were small but still good fun. tom somehow managed to pull a triple header on a paternoster one on the bottom hook and 2 took a double snell he had on the top.
the biggest fish for the day
so between 7 of us we managed 44 snapper however only 16 were size plus realeased a few just sized ones so we could keep the black ass hahaha but was still a great night
i support two teams eagles and whoever is playing the dockers

Plenty of snapper around by
Plenty of snapper around by the sounds of it - good to see!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

i couldn't believe how hardy they are. craig made sure they were bout up slow and we let them float that last bit and basically all but 2 went down without the weight
