I wish too Ben. I must have caught 1000 small snapper before i landed one that was sized. LOL

It is the biggest one dropped on my deck in the last 12 months. Check that hump on its head.

Mindaries

 Straight out from Mindaries in 28m. I hooked a small one and a shark grabbed it, then my mates rod started to scream.

Cleared all the lines out the way and coached him on the fight.

About 6min later it was in the net.

Hit and miss

Tue, 2011-03-22 23:41

I go out there with no GPS and somtimes no sounder. (small boat)

Just do the normal bottom bounce with dropper rig's. Squid or ocky baits + fresh wrass.

Sometimes i get fish and other times not mutch. Allways get a feed tho.

Great place to launch a boat and always something to do.
