Snapper time
Submitted by Marineboy on Tue, 2017-02-14 09:41
with the best night we've had metro (last night) for a long time was only one day thing to do and that was fish! Arrived at hillarys at about 5pm and it was pretty busy, headed down to our spot and got set up. Was pretty slow for the first hour then about 6.30pm got bricked by a good fish. Just on sunset the snapper turned it on and we had good action for about an hour till the snook spoiled the party.
Kept 4 fish around the 70cm Mark and released a heap just under 50cm.
Spoke to a couple of people back at the ramp and both had fish.

Nicely done
You didn't fish at your spot! Coz based on your "signature", fish dont know about them! Haha
Did you keep any snook? They taste great when deep fried!
Yeah, juvenile snapper are in plague proportions, which is a great sign for future fishing...
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!

Snook
been spoilt on the quality fish so unless it's 4 or 5 star eating it either goes back or gets used for bait haha. My mate takes them for his dad though !
