Sounds like you had a reasonably productive day Shaun ... where did you launch from ?

Transformations wrote: Hey Bazza, it was worth taking a chance. Great not to have to wade through the goldfish to get a keeper. I launched Shelly beach...spot I fish is a gut up on the shallow banks kinda north east of the green marker. Did not get the pm, or at least no notification of one. I'll check and see.

We've had a couple good weeks up the Harbour - lots of small fish about now but you can still find some goodies - did a sesh the other day Softbaits verse bait and Skute won the day for size. On the drift with bait and softbaits bait out did the softies.

Thats brilliant Graeme, I have heard of kingies following rays to dine on their excrement... something to do with a crab and mollusc diet

8m

Great footage! Thanks for sharing

Any reports on the graveyard? Thinking about a mish in the next few days, maybe even tomorrow.

Awesome day out there today . Had a bit of a dilemma as I wanted to do an early launch to catch the change but with a fairly big low just before 5 it would be a risky launch for my rig in the real soft stuff at the end of the ramp. Solution? No problem, launch at 3am .

Was well worth it, not only did I get the pick of the parking but got treated to a light show of epic proportions. Never seen luminescence like that before, every movement in the water looked like a drop of molten metal on a sheet of black and the mullet were in full flight...amazing.

Fishing was ok in the few hours before sunup and got a few in the bin. Once the tide started pushing I hit a shallow spot and got a bit of burley going. Some nice fish around, got busted off twice before I increased trace size and backed drags off. Put a sabiki just under the boat in the burley and was really surprised to get mullet on it. These little buggers are notoriously hard to get on a hook but today they came in thick and fast and are deadly snapper bait. Lasted a while till a shark came and chased everyone away

Ended with a bin of good fat harbour snaps, kept sizes from around 40 to just shy of 60cm... even got one with a tag in him, will be interesting to find out where it came from and how quickly it has grown. All in all an awesome day and thanks to the fishing gods for providing for us once again

Hey G, tag 0582. Fish was 52cm and 2,55kg. Was this one of yours?

Cheers, Shaun.

Good to see a tagged fish. In 20 years where my mates and I have caught literally hundreds of snapper between us, I've only seen 1 with a tag.
