Snapper were abundant and biting well - but on the bottom and the time and effort involved was frustrating. I haven't much experience at workups. I would prefer to use a lure - because they take the bait, and then have to wind it up and rebait and drop again which is time wasted. I want to catch snapper, not kahawai. I want something that would get down 45m quickly. Assume a lead sinker could be used to add weight. Anyone with experience care to advise on a good lure. |
