I keep away from the Spit Beacon area, far to populated.

I stay in 6-8m of water casting to the shallows in the direction of my drift

[dunney]

[Cowfish13]

Except that guys pen is still moving on the paper, and he's looking down:silly: I tend to gaze out the window:D

Some nice fish Leighton:cheer:

[QueenslandeR]

well done on the squire mate, i wouldn't pass that up for dinner ever!

[bootyinblue]

Good size snappers there... well done!

And I am no tree hugging do gooder animal lover, but good to see that you dont have an esky full of just legals for the hell of it.

Take a couple of fish for a feed and the rest are just fun and games and mastering your skills, but go back in the water for another day.

Well done!!

hey leighton just wondering is there two or three snapper in here?

Either there's one very skinny one or there's one with its head hidden. Looks like a great session anyway.

[Leighton]

3 mate

[Mack_attack]

cool thanks that's what i was thinking.

[flatty_catcher]

Nice snapper there mate

one of Australias best table fish

good one

[BrianFocker]

As I said in the other thread - I am very new and could use some help - I went out to peel the other day just pretty much for a look - I would appreciate if someone could throw a new guy a bone

Cheers

Brian

[Feral]

Brian, sorry not much of a bay fisherman. But the old "blow fly" affect will probably see you through. IE Cruise around the bay and you will pretty shortly notice that as soon as some poor mug catches a fish, he has a dozen new mates all around him! Just join the huddle.

[Leighton]

no real secrets at Peel Brian, its all about having a good quality sounder, working the drop offs and finding the bait.

Peel fishes best mid week when there is limited boat traffic, best results are when you are on the water pre dawn waiting for first light.

Your best bet is to head straight to Spit Beacon and work your way around the Island in a Clockwise direction or N/W until you find some activity on the sounder.

Most fish are caught in 6-8m of water working the shallows

Peel/Mud/Green are heavily fished islands that are only going to get busier, they all produce great fish, its all about time on the water
