Swarmed by juvenile snapper
Submitted by br3nno on Fri, 2018-06-15 14:33
Hey fellas,
Caught 4 consecutive double headers and countless singles. About 12m of water not far from hillarys. I know theyre not uncommon and are often found in the marina. They were harder to avoid than wrasse.
Obviously I put them all back, where do all the big ones go? And whats the growth rate on these?
Cheers

I'm no expert. But I have found that lot's of these small one's aren't an indication of big snaps in the area. If you're finding 40cm+ models then bigger ones should be around.
