Jealous Robbie! How’s your arsenal of rods and reels!

In a yak mate but up for a challenge did u mean snaps around bribie bridge? I thought that was pretty busy with boat traffic?

I was getting pissed if with jet skis and boats at wello this morning

Had a meeting near the port during the week and was considering have a crack as I’ve been given a couple spots along their however wind was up and it was a long paddle in the yak for an arvo session but will definitely give it a crack as it’s my closest fishy spot to home aka 30mins

I can’t even find the 40’s

Better photo of the grassy

Hope so at least I’m trying

I’ve always been pro braid. Got talked into mono with my new snapper rod and three trips later I have not caught a fish with it! Apparently mono is better for catching snapper however I’m not convinced yet. I’ll give it a couple more goes before peeling it off and applying a good braid.

Sounds like our no more night trips plan might just have to wait anytime mate! yep thought it was a good snapper. I think that bite period coincided with the heigh tide.

Legends I planned a solo yak trip for this morning and had a wello time. i awoke at 3am for the 40min drive to my favourite spot Wellington Point. The plan was to be on the water by 430am and ready to drop just before sunrise. I arrived at the ramp in the pitch of darkness with only a couple trailers in the car park. The wind was a little fresh and the water a bit lumpy but nonetheless I ventured out. 5mins into my paddle I took on a wave and was drenched! Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea anywho I trudged on as it wasn’t that bad and I filled my zero harm guidelines. Life best on white light on head lamp on and flashing red light on. I arrived at the drop off and made it to the 6-7m mark and dropped my baits. One floating the other a dropper. Straight away the dropper was getting hit....and I missed it! Quickly baited my fresh squid from mr bait and again got hit this time...I’m on! Pulled in my first ever grassy just shy of 30. dropped again and wamo! On again this time a pinky just under 30. I thought here we go this is the day I’m going to land my first legal snapper! oh how wrong I was. I spent the next 5 hours Soaking baits with little success just a tiny pinky a few bites and of course the obligatory grinner! oh well great morning spent on the water the wind died down and so too did the waves by sunrise so a safe and enjoyable trip. mr snapper if your out their mark my words.....I will catch you when I least expect it.

Here snappy snappy snap

Thanks I just purchased the arid x combo 4000 6ft 6-12kg 20pound mono. thought 6ft would suit the yak better. Feels great. Also heard mono Works better on the snapper. it’s ready to go for a night session tonight with @ellicat tonights the night! Zzzzzzzzzz

Brilliant report hamdog! Nice flat as well u little legend! Glad old scaley left that snapper for me to catch soon

Thanks legends I’ll have a look at both

About to have a crack at it

Legends need some advice! Looking at getting a Shimano raider 7ft 4-7kg and pairing it with my Daiwa freams 15pound braid or Might get a Baitrunner 4000 or 6000. Chase snapper mainly. Any thoughts??

By the sounds of it I may have missed a good session this morning!

All local suppliers around the Gold Coast
