Another Snapper Post (Sorry)
Hi folks,
Sorry to post a snapper related question...this has been done to death but I can't find the answer I'm looking for using my mate Google.
House will be a toddler-fest on Saturday morning as the boss-lady is having some friends over. Good excuse to go fishing...the weather looks rubbish so the wet weather gear and a rock wall will be my likely destination. Probably Two Rocks...Mindarie looks like it has been producing but my rule is if you are reading a good report on a spot, you've already missed the fun! (I'm SOR but don't really hit ASI up any more).
Have been reading about different baits for snapper - rock crabs, yellowtail, gars, mulie, herring, etc. Rather than use frozen bait I was thinking of grabbing a few fresh squid from Kailis Bros. Just wanted to know from experience how they stack up against other bait for snapper?
Cheers,
Buschy

At the end of the day they eat anything I like using it because it stays on so well and especially cuttlefish and occy,an resists pickers. Most of the bigger fish we have caught after a blow have been chokers full of cuttlefish.always see cuttlys washed ashore with the weed during A good blow.another thing is I've found is the first big blow is the best.good luck mate

I'd be buying a 2kg box of cali squid .. good value , great size and presents well on a snelled rig ... Then also maybe flick around for some live bait whiting , herring etc to use on a second setup

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Thanks all
Appreciate the advice - will definately grab a couple of rock crabs if they are around. Given the weather though it may be hard work....bit of burley and flouro line I hear is the way...

With herring, just cut them
With herring, just cut them into big chunks, maybe cut the herring into 3 chunks. Best bait off the rocks I reckon.
