Solo snapper run

Went out yesterday arvo in the tinny chasing snapper. Fishing in 5 mts of water with unweighted whole herring and fresh slabs of Pike/snook I had 8 runs for a total of 5 fish landed in an hour and a half session.

Fish were from 70 to 85 cms.

I kept my first 2 fish which were both 70 cms

Was my firt successful snapper run for the year
