Where Do Sound Pinkies Go??
Submitted by VAGABOND on Mon, 2008-11-24 16:26
Does any one know where the big pinkies go from the sound after spawning? Do they just spread out offshore? stay in the sound in deeper water? go out over the shelf? Interesting as you very rare catch them offshore over around the 7kg mark. The most common size seems to be around the 40cm to 60cm I have noticed that it has been like this for most of my 20 odd years of fishing out wide and have only got onto a School of Snapper out wide that have been of similar size to the ones in the Sound once and that was over 20 years ago in 110m of water. Has always puzzled me does any one have any Info??

They go around the
back of GI so we can catch them. Bob goes to the shelf for pinkies and some nice sizes, bumpy old heads.

It's just something that I've observed over the years, Even in our fishing comps It's very rare to see a Snapper over 6kg and these are guys fishing from the 5 fathom out to 300m in depth. There are thousands of fish in those schools in the sound and there are alot of ideas to were they go but it's still not 100%.

Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more serious than that!!!
