im thinking of going sunday looks better ATM

Playing golf on Sunday. Only thinking of tomorrow as the swell is slightly less than Sunday but might have to pull a shonky and go for a fish instead. Golf brings out the Hulk from within and it takes great restraint not to throw the clubs into the drink. At one stage I was replacing the driver shaft every time it came back from repair due to a bad temper. Could've bought some good fishing gear instead.

Does murky water put fish off or it doesn't matter, if they're hungry, they'll eat?

havnt done too much fishing in murky water

but i caught some good salmon last year and it was milky as

Sunday definately looks better but tomorrow would be worth going to the sound the snapper will be very active after the last weeks weather I reckon they will be everywhere if weather permits the back of the five would be loaded too as the wind and swell would of pushed them all in close IMO good luck

snapper will be up n about!

I was going to where I've had some luck with the Dhuies only because I haven't caught anything in the sound yet. I've done some searching in the sound a couple of months ago and found some lumps which are close to the main land not far from Woodies in 5-7 metres of water holding baby snapper up to 10-15cm long. Should I try there or just go ocean side? Someone at work suggusted I try the gravel patch some time which is in the middle some where but I suppose I'll just have to sound around.

id say it would be worth having a look at again, and a sound around before heading out

weve had a decent look around in the sound in the past month when we can and havnt had any luck

were probly gona try inside first and if nothing head out around the 5 were we caught some bigger ones last time all just under size

just in the sound but went for a quick look out the back of garden island and it was sloppy as hell!!

So was the sound calm enough or was it horrible as well. Was it fishable on the west side of GI or don't even worry about it, fish in the sound? Catch anything?

 the sound was sloppy as this morning, ive never seen it that dirty, couldnt even see the bottom in 1.5m. Where ive usually been sounding out 5-10 solid schools of bait i only found one this morning. No snappers either

If I was to go out tomorrow beau, would I sound for fish on structure or just on the flat sand?

Stick in close around rock walls and jetties will be where the bait is held up cause of the north westerlies we've had where u find the floating weed is where everything has been pushed if that helps

 plenty of floating weed out there in between asi and woodmans pt, along with a couple planks of timber :S

That's where the snapper will be just hoPe they are still there saturday

If the weather stays good tomorow arvo then im gonna hit up the 3mile for a snapper bash, ive been getting pinkies and a few dhuies too the last few trips out. Hopeing all this rough weather has stirred them up.
