Had a quick fish late Saturday afternoon.

Was blowing a bit so thought I would head out to an area I have never fished before. Boat in at Manly and headed for Mud Is, my theory was if Mud failed me I could fish St Hel and Green on the way back.

Having never fished Mud I was at a bit of a loss, I small grab on my plastic and thats it. I was fishing from 12m to about 6m drifting along covering plenty of ground with a stiff wind.

Pulled the pin and headed in, I use to fish St Hel a lot so I couldnt resist the temptation of another few casts.

With my new combo in hand ( Egrell Bear S4 and Daiwa Morethan Branzino 3000 )I was determined to land a fish. Hooked onto a small Cod so I was happy. Next cast I went toe to toe with a solid Snapper, I tell you, the sound of Line being pulled off a Carbon Fibre Spool is something special..it takes zzzzzzzzzz to the next level.

Landed that fish then headed home a happy lad.

ps..any tips on Mud Is would be appreciated [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Branzino1_AFO.jpg

Baits or plastics? Pretty much all of the Bay Islands have Snapper on them from time to time. If you can beat the crouds or even go out in a little dodgy weather your chances improve

Thanks Kriso.... thanks a lot matey

Hi Captain, both, bait n sp. Can go in dodgy weather, thanks for the tip

Those Branzinos are supposed to be increadible. You're a very lucky man.

Well done on the Snapper too, keep the reports coming.

5" Plastics seem to get the better quality Snaps while the 3-4" produce more pan size
