Yesterdays Report
Well unfortunately due to the weather and needing to be back at 2 we decided not to head out to the FAD's and instead hit the local reefs and then head out to try find some bottom dwelling species. The NE was fairly stiff and reinforced the reason we didn’t hit the FAD's. Got to Mewstone and started chucking lures with every cast resulting in a herring, until my mate then got bricked on 12lb to what we think was a huge tailor judging by the pace it took off. After we had enough herring for bait we headed out to the 40m mark where we eventually found a likely spot, did a few drifts and found we were getting smashed by small snapper which wouldn’t leave our baits alone, we moved a few times and found the same result. We then decided to head out a little deeper where we found a little lump of coral and first drop resulted in a nice Red snapper for my mate.
As I was taking the photo my rod went off and I thought I had hooked his brother until line started stripping, unfortunately it was just a sambo,
so with time getting on we decided to head back in, by this stage the wind had dropped and we could head in sitting on 30kn. I’ve still got a couple more weeks before uni starts again so hopefully I can head out to the FAD's and get into some nice yellow fish.
Cheers Miles

no idea, it was right at the end of the drift and the rest of the lines were out of the water, And we couldnt tell on the sounder cause the small snapper were thick as.

Nice Nanni mate.
I would watch how you hold these fish, their gill cover and rakers are like knifes.

ones this size are fine to eat, dont get me wrong there not a baldy or dhu but i recon at this size there worth keeping and if looked after taste quite good. however like most fish as they get bigger they get mushy, fishy and most have worms so arnt worth keeping.
