snapper

I fished between the islands last night anchored up at the back of a lump and consistently burley for a couple of hours while I watched a couple of tools sound around the area for the same amount of time. Then while they were off in the distance bang they were on 6 in about 15 mins. Only to see them come back sounding around after the action had stopped .Out of 5 boats there I was the only one on that was until rutar and the rockpom dropped into my burley trail IOM best way is find the ground and consistent burley and a little patience beets looking for a needle in a hay stack.

I hate to say it but you
I hate to say it but you always know exactly where to pick them up in between the island Bill!
Rockpom and myself were happy with watching all your rods going off and were fortunate enough to pick up some nice fish!
In the middle you can look like a fool if you spend all your time driving around and it is much better to stay and cube.JMO
IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU!

I agree there are so many
I agree there are so many big thick bait balls tight on the bottom all over there that you would swear it was a snapper school.
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

The snapper vacpacked spot on and will be a hit at the next barbie.
Great eating size!
Next time I get one of that size I will stuff and add spices plus butter before vacpacking it!

Time and place
Well done Bill, Goat and Rock for getting into them (thanks for the call Goat lol). With regards to finding the fish or waiting for them, is an argument that will never die. There is a time and place for both tactics and thats the fun thing about fishing. Next time the guys might not catch squat, and the bloke sounding around will catch all the fish.
Each to there own
