snapper
Submitted by Bill on Tue, 2007-11-06 18:20
I fished between the islands last night anchored up at the back of a lump and consistently burley for a couple of hours while I watched a couple of tools sound around the area for the same amount of time. Then while they were off in the distance bang they were on 6 in about 15 mins. Only to see them come back sounding around after the action had stopped .Out of 5 boats there I was the only one on. IMO best way is find the ground and consistent burley and a little patience beets looking for a needle in a hay stack.

there are so many
there are so many big thick bait balls tight on the bottom all over there that you would swear it was a snapper school.
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

Time and place
Well done Bill and Rock for getting into them. With regards to finding the fish or waiting for them, is an argument that will never die. There is a time and place for both tactics and thats the fun thing about fishing. Next time the guys might not catch squat, and the bloke sounding around will catch all the fish.
