went to mouth of the Rous last Sat, bloody carpet sharks taking my prime bait on offer before the sun came up, then the snapper hit for a short while, fresh squid did the business and i had more bites by floating down the bait than plummeting to the bottom on a paternoster rig.

snap-sushimi was nice for breaky, and i kept another to bake tandoori-style. 

I then got a line bitten off so changed up to wire, pulling in a couple nice schoolies and lost an even bigger one.

Then 9 boats turned up so it was off for an early mark and to fire up the smoker.

awesome mate. When you say mouth do you mean where the red and green channel markers are at the start of the western end?

Hi Simon

Nice work! You have been getting some great results lately.

I've never tried smoked fish. What does it taste like?

Cheers Hamish

i was worried the tandoori might over power the snapper but it enhanced the flavor!!!

Best if you fillet them as they look really nasty whole.
