queensland Gold Coast Snapper

[marty]

After reading reports the Mackerel were quiet on Mermaid and Palmy on Saturday i headed wide of the Seaway on Sunday morning. Also heard Spanish were caught on Diamond on Saturday and quickly found out a few others heard that too - at least 20 boats there.

Fairly lumpy ride out before getting to my area and sounding out some good shows of bait. Fished using spot lock for a while but the current was fairly fast and I only managed a couple of undersize Snapper. Decided to drift over the reef and started to get a few decent fish, with best one going 53cm. Did a few drifts but the jostling started to get to me so went home with 4 legal Snapper.

Came across some fish hitting bait on the surface near the Seaway entrance, but couldn't tempt them with a slug - must have been very small baitfish. Looked like Mac Tuna anyway

Sounds like a good feed. Shame about the traffic, but I guess you're used to that on the Goldy.

What did the damage, plastics ?

Yes, very used to boat traffic on the weekends done here - early morning launching at boat ramps helps avoid few issues.

Fished with Pillies - was feeling lazy

Nice fish mate. Well done and thanks for the report.
