For those interested, I have done a video on techniques for targeting snapper and other species in the wash....


A king on the bricks is worth 5 in a boat.

Thanks, interesting watch. Not something I've got to work consistently. Usually, it's just a good way of losing gear and getting stressed that the boat is going to end up on the rocks LOL

Nice video.  I am lucky enough to have a Minn Kota on the boat which is great for wash fishing.  Interested to see that you use bright colours - that orange.  What do you find works for you? Colours and also type (jerk shad, paddletails, grubs etc)?

And any good in winter, colder water, slower snapper?  I tend to go the bait way this time of year.  Well, to be honest this time of year i just sit at home and get frustrated by the loooong spells of strong easterlies
