Allnighter

Yea Hweebe and Hamish, the excitement and the challenge keeps us all going back! 
 Catching bait is fun and can be a learning curve in itself. 😊
Josh @Cobiaaddict, I'm sure you're not finished with the snapper this season quite yet😊
Notice i crop the background out as best i can?  Lol sorry mate couldn't resist hahahaaa
 
 
 
 
 
 

Rodgy.
 
Have you tried lighter sinkers? 
The sinker on ellicats line looks to heavy for that depth imo...especially if you're anchored up. 
That's why you're picking up the vermin all the time. 
 
Either that or spool off 20 to 30m of line out in the current unweighted while keeping hold of the sinker. Then drop the sinker over and let out line till the sinker hits bottom. That will allow the bait to be up above the unwanted pickers. 
Not trying to be a know all or anything, just speaking from personal experiences. 
Doesn't help having old mate anchored behind you in your burley trial either. 

Hey @ellicat 
Loved ya fishing video.... funny as 😊
Whole squid 
 Strips are for bream 😊 
Ask @Hweebe if he can post the link from my bushnbeach article from April/May, im old and dunno how to do it 😕
 

Yer kmcrosby, sorry i meant still do some more fishing, but switch attention to other species soon thats all 😊
 

Well its getting closer to Snapper shutdown, all conditions were right on wednesday so decided to head out midweek to a favourite spot near green Island for the last fish for me for awhile.
Spent some time the night before having some fun loading up with some locally caught fresh squid. 
Headed out at around lunch time, with a dead flat bay , and wasn't long before a 75cm snapper on board, and then another 69er 😆
After a hectic bite period i sat down pretty much exhausted and i looked up in to the sky because it was so bloody hot for a winters day, and i still thought how crazy it was to be catching snapper in shallow water (6m) at near midday. 
( plus i also believe in shallow water once 1 or 2 snapper have been caught the school is spooked for awhile)
Oh well, i shrugged my shoulders and decided it was time to crack open a JD and celebrate 😆
For shitsngiggles i put the snapper gear away, and baited up a 1-3kg bream rod which i usually use for catching squid on.
Deployed a bait down on it and whammo !
The reel starts screaming on the bream rod with only 8 pound line on hahaaa !
The sporting aspect was great fun, although it took about 20 minutes to see colour and a big beautiful 70-80cm snapper came up through the clear green water near the boat. Okay by this time i am huffin and puffin and before i could slide the net under it....... ping goes the 8 pound !!!  Lol
Off it swam so graciously back down which sorta made me feel all warm n fuzzy inside ☺
Well maybe i had one too many JD's 😨Cause as i packed up to head home i maaaaay have forgot to reel in the bream rod and it flew out of the rod holder into the drink..... wooooooops 
Still though , gotta be happy with 2 in the pink and 1 in the drink. 😊 
Until next winter, Green Island Snaps....
