Hey Fitzy,

Well done mate, cracking bag of fish. Did I see you coming into the Newport 7/11 at some stage? I was just on my way out. Was a bloke who looked a lot like you on the way in.

I also fished around 9 metres and seemed to find a few fish on the sounder but didn't turn a real apart from a few slimy pike.

Shaping up like another snapperless season for me lol absolutely hopeless i am

I'm terrible at anchoring, mark a fish and by the time i set the anchor I'm about 400 metres from the mark, just can't get it right

Got a new anchor winch, i think I'm even worse at anchoring now haha

You may have, were you in the 420 stacer?

Nice lot, and bag out in an hour!
Either chocolate or boiled lollies at the moment for everyone.

Had 6 snapperless trips before this one, hopefully its the start of a good season

Have to get the Savage crew together. Savage by name, savage on the snapper by nature

Top effort fitzy! That's a very nice bag mate. I was not far in the port Melb area in 7-8 metres. Out till late but no luck. Will be giving it another crack soon. At least it was a beautiful night to be on the water :thumbsup:

Very nice bag indeed, specially with reports from other members donutting in the same area.. that end of the bay seems to be firing up well atm.
cheers
