Hi guys,

Last night my friend and I decided to give the reds another go in the attempt to try and land a nice landbased snapper.

As you guys know, I got a 55cm one a couple of weeks ago but have been itching to get a bigger model!

We discussed where to go and decided on a spot and arrived at our destination at around 8 pm.

The wind was a nice SSW.

We used 3 rods between the 2 of us with fresh pillies and sauries as our bait of choice.

Once all 3 baits were out we waited and it didn’t take long till we got a hook up. Turns out it was a massive banjo.

Then next one of the rods loads up and the line starts to run. A nice gummy the end result. Not long after the other reel starts to scream and in comes a nice 71 Cm snapper.

In the end we ended up with 3 snappers. 43 Cm, 54 Cm and the biggest one measuring 71cm and 2 nice gummies. We also got a couple of big Pjs which we let go.

All snappers were caught using double 5/0 gamagastu hooks rigged up with a whole pilchard.

Jase, I feel like I have the cure now and hope you can get the cure sometime soon as well!

hey lightning me and my uncle might be going down Mornington rocks this weekend would it be worth it to fish from the rocks or the jetty

Thanks guys!!!
Yea Rb I feel much more relaxed now and definitely cured mate

E.welch do you have much experience fishing from the rocks down there? If so, I’d give it a crack otherwise maybe safer to give it a go from the pier.

Outstanding.

Nice work LX
