solid 15 minutes
went out last weekend for a snapper session. started at five fathom but was a bit lumpy so came back in. long story short, no bites at all until this happened on about the 4th spot i tried. must have fluked a school as there was nothing happening apart from beer drinking...then a triple hookup. my sister had never caught one so she got the first to go off, and i gave her a bit of a hand. i had a whiting rod (tiny hooks, small piece of squid, 8lb line stradic 2500) over which was the second one to go off, so the future brother in law picked that one up. then my rod went off so i left the sister to grab that but he got me on a reef just as i picked the rod up. i grabbed the net and got my sisters in and straight after the whiting rod special. quickly dropped the rigged up rod back over and tried to get another rig together to put on my rod but another one got on straight away, so it was my turn to catch one.
then that all happened again (apart from the whiting rod bit) and we ended up with two each, over about 15 minutes. the biggest 4 were all between about 85 and 88. the other two weren't far behind but i didn't measure them. made up for the previous two trips where i got nothing.

Nice work
A none fishing person would never understand the adrenaline rush when rods start going off like that, best drug going....well, close to beer anyway.

That would have been an awesome 15mins ....well done
Just shows it's always worth moving around if it's a bit quiet ...I'm sure when I move though the fish go to where I just came from.!
My fishing spots are so secret........... even the fish don't know where they are !!
