Yeah no idea why people think otherwise.. so far I’ve caught better quality fish the last few months than in season
You are catching them like it’s peak season :rofl:

Hahaha, well... hopefully peak season is even better than this when it comes around
Mate if you are doing this well now I don’t want to know how many you are going to get during peak season :rofl: but then again you will probably be using the boat? Every year at the start of the new season I always try and land a nice lb one first before I start taking the boat out. I just love he feeling of landing a big one from the land as well :)

Would be doing both. Fish the rough days land based the good days boat. Going to be focusing my efforts early season

I usually start getting pumped as early as mid August!
I have a mate who goes into hibernation during the winter months but as soon as August comes around he’s right into it :rofl: how early are you thinking of starting?

Snapper season is in winter.

Pinkies come in October-march generally.

Still get the snapper in that period too though

Oh I meant the wind conditions were stopping me. I can endure the cold. Not the wind however.

Snapper season is not winter. Its September & November, with a large portion leaving the bays late December. A remaining portion stay in the bay until winter and as that water temperature drops back down the remanding groups of snapper start feeding again, whilst having a second spawning run.
