Pink Snapper - my first one
Submitted by rigpig on Tue, 2015-04-14 09:15
After a lot of trial and error and searching for ground etc, I finally caught my first pink snapper. I was out from Rokko with my Daughter and it all came together. She handled the net and between screams and fist pumps we had it on the boat. Absolutely stoked...

Good stuff, and even better with the daughter on board - great memories.
Yet to get my first Rockingham pinky, starting to get a wee bit frustrating, but this winter it WILL happen!
Cheers,

I used two snelled circle
I used two snelled circle hooks with mullies with no weight. Burled up with small cubes of mullies as well. I caught it at 4pm and we were out of bait at 6pm so couldn't hang around after dark which was a bit of a shame because my confidence was pretty high at that stage....
