So what's the go with the snapper fellers. 
As a kid we used to catch them on gravel patches out near the shipping channel off Bribie and in a few places in the Passage . . . but how far north are they common?   
I was surprised to hook one off the rocks at Bargara, last week, had him beat, just waiting for a swell to wash him onto a ledge and my new second hand five inch Alvey broke the main frame.
Good fish too with the lump on his conk, probably around seven hundred I reckon.
Bugger! . . . and to add injury to insult, when the reel fell off the rod it partly blackened a toenail. (wry grin)
Cheers.

Crikey folks thanks for responses.
I have done a search on this site and there are some encouraging older references but nothing recent.
I just have to finish a couple of projects at the house and I'll go and do some exploring.
Cheers.
