Hot snapper bite
Went out this morning got up at 4 and headed out to the 5 got anchored in 13m of water on a bit of broken ground. Had a curry chicken dinner that didn't get eaten as my burley took about 20 mins and I could just hear the rod knocking in the rod holder it was still abit dark to see the rod tips, was a nice healthy snapper at 44cm. Caught another 2 getting closer and closer to size was just unhooking a 48cm fish when one of the rods took off was going alot harder than the others so far was pretty stoked to see it in the water took a couple of goes to net was pretty stoked and the sun still wasn't up yet. Caught another 2 undersized fish and dropped a good run don't think I ever really had him hooked just took off like a steam train then nothing, was about 7 oclock now started to think it might be over then my new rod started peeling off line fish went from one side of the boat to the other ended up seeing him at the back of the boat nice size snapper shaking his head and changing directions ended up netting him on the side of the boat that I started on. Put him on the brag mat went 77cm. Started to clean the boat down while I bled the fish cubed up afew more mulies as I was cleaning and bang another big run grabbed the rod but dropped the fish threw another bait on as I was still cleaning up ended up getting another 2 big runs that felt like big fish but they both got me in the reef. Boat was all cleaned up now and I wasn't going to tie anymore rigs so headed home was just after 7:30 what a great morning.
