Snapper off the rocks

Snapper off the rocks

Shit photo, but I managed to get my first landbased snapper in Melbourne yesterday. It went 74cm and had me snagged in the rocks a few times. Then when I finally had it washed into the rocks, the hook trace popped, forcing me to jump onto the lower level and tail-grab the bastard. Very happy. It seems as though no-one targets the snapper off the shore (or in the boat) over winter here, more a summer thing. Quite contrary to Perth.

Nice fish there Brody. Sounds good no-one targetting them now, as you can have the spots all to yourself.
