Well its that time of year again ..... yep pinky time!!
My very keen cousin Jimmy (James) said " Ryan take me snapper fishing " and whilst he has his own boat it was more of a catch up/fish sesh as we've both been busy!
Jimmy's so keen and full on energy haha .... like I was many years ago .... well nearly 20 years now since I started targeting inshore metro pink snapper!
We went out on my boat late yesterday arvo and located fish straight away on my Furuno sounder. I dropped anchor and as soon as the baits were flicked ..... we were on ...... NICE!
We both got 2 fish each and bagged out before sundown .... Happy Days!!! Cheers Ryan

Thats why he owns a tackle
Thats why he owns a tackle store & successful fishing show, while the rest of us drool with envy whenever Ryan posts up pics of his fishing adventures.
Top catches there, Ryan and Jimmy!
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!

Too easy!!! Good work as
Too easy!!!
Good work as usual Ryan, up north of the river I can never spot a school of snapper on the sounder on or around the 3mile, so instead we just find likely looking ground, anchor up and burley, usually still get a few that way.

Pinkys!
Thanks fella's for your comments
Azza, I will PM you more info!
Cheers Ashen for your comment
Paul, once you know what to look for it gets easier but your way is a common practice for many anglers ..... and works
* I went out late yesterday and ignored my normal spots even though one spot had a big school of snapper. I was on a solo recon mision to find a new spot (despite having many) and after some driving around I found a school/new spot .... dropped a drift baited scaly and whammo on ..... job done so headed in
I bumped into a mate back at the ramp who was keen to take the fish for the family and took this quick pic!
