Fishing sunday

Post by **Kimtown** » Fri Sep 15, 2017 10:15 am

Will be going for an early season snapper Sunday with the weather looking good. Had some luck with the gummies over winter but now I want a 5kg pre season snapper.

Quick question, with the water looking like filth right now, has anyone had any luck with squid around coronet bay? Also how's the whiting/salmon/couta/other various baitfish situation looking like?

Prawns and mainly pilchard got me by for the gummies, gonna need fresh bait for a snapper though unfortunately.

just as a matter of interest fisheries are still asking fishos to not use Food Grade prawn as bait - I rang them yesterday to confirm that it is still an issue - they say it is as we don't know if the food grade prawn have come from the white spot infected areas

Couta were thick last Sunday just out of Warneet. Caught 10 in Gentle Annie. Have seen others with some good whiting numbers but they have skills that I don't have.

sure is - most of the guys are now starting to use Australian Mantis Shrimp -- Fisheries say they are OK as Mantis Shrimp are wild caught , cheaper than Prawn to

How do those prawns perform on snapper?

Post by **Kimtown** » Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:21 pm

1x 49cm pinkie
4x 45+cm rock ling

I was very hesitant to try rock ling as I'm easily turned off fish by their appearance, but my cousin encouraged me to try it. Without a doubt the best tasting fish I have ever tried. Do recommend if anyone happens to reel in the slug looking thing

Fished the run out at top end of WP yesterday after catching some fresh bait. Water was dirty from the run off I consistently removing weed from the rigs. As the tide eased the weed wasn't as thick I was rewarded with a snapper above 80cm weighing 7kg on a squid ring.
