Submitted by luke george on Thu, 2008-12-11 15:31
hey just adding to the post i put up on tuesday morning about the pinks at the 5's. Went out monday as i said and got 4 tuesday was good day got 5 and about 6 bust off's and yesterday got 2 but lost alot one of which was 72cm and 5kg which i got on my berkley dropshot 7"2 2-4kg matched with penn applause 4000 with 8lb braid and 20lb mono leader on the new octojigs which im totally stoked about. If you want to get into the snapper i suggest getting out asap as there is no shortage of them and i dont know how long they will hang around for im going out again tommorow but will be releasing probley all but 1 which i promised one of my mates

Yeah
I'm with Bodie - people always seem to get into the fish but not me??? A few Blackarse but that's about it. Do you fish the back of the five and north or south of GI?
