Anchored yak in couple spots, only got couple gurnard but quite a few snapper… took three snapper, nothing bigger than about 35cm, also picked up couple of kahawai. One of kahawai had three barely digested pilies in in it which supplemented my bait suppplies.

And glad to hear you are getting out again and getting some nice fish.

Anyways Dave hard luck on turtle guess you’d tucked everything away pretty good too not be too concerned and clearly had all your fish secured. Your reels probably need stripping down. You should if not already be doing your own with those penns… smart man and time on hands to look at utube videos… when you are really good at it, let me know for those one in hopefully 3 yr incidents  I have.  Swat up on Calcutta 200d for me please.

 I was using tiny  bits of bait ,trying to make  things easy for the gurnies, but this snap ate both hooks on the trace! The lower  hook and the higher hook, I haven't seen that before, must have been hungry? It's a lot of fun catching the bigger models, but a 40cm snap is 10/10 on the plate for me. I was happy to pick up some more kahawai for bait too, there were boil ups 4-500m off the beach.

 I picked up jack macs, kahawai and snapper on the day I gave it a flick, but the water visibility was very poor, tomorrow could be a good fishing day, so I might venture out and give it another go, it will be my catch and release day.

The little jig head weighs about 5gms, I found it hard work trying to get distance with a 5gm jig head, but it seemed to hook up wherever it landed, I might try it on a 3/8 bulb.

I've never fished NN, but BB has caught some good fish there.
