@LX, any bay trouts in the usual spots? Bait collection time.

Go and find out for yourself you lazy bugger! :tongue:

I am nearby..... let me cast from the roof

Pinkie season is upon us... The school fish will end up in the same spots they always are every year and the real fish are currently in their usual spots and will soon fan out to get jiggy with the schoolies

When does the season usually start for you?

I haven't bothered for a fair while but to escape the hoards of school fish and the 3 months a year warriors that somehow have a boat licence usually start May and finish early October. Fish are consistently bigger, their feeding patterns are stupidly regular so a trip could be as quick as 2 hours from leaving the driveway to returning to the driveway, theres very very rarely a hold up at the ramp and your baits aren't smashed as quick as they are from October onwards by garbage fish. The spawning season is good for throwing big plastics on 6lb gear. It's about the only positive of the coming months

Geez dude...you're like the Grinch of Snapper Season :rofl:
Feel free to PM me a GPS reading or 2 if you want to throw a weekend warrior a bone!....I couldn't catch a thing until early November last year

Interest in Snapper has slowly waned since I got the fish I mounted in 05 to now being next to non existent. It happns

im yet to have decent lure sessions on them.

I’ve had some decent sessions with plastics on the smaller models but yet to snag a big one on a plastic! Hoping to change that this season

Tend to agree a lot with what cobby has said.
This year I’ll have a few sessions if time permits will focus on areas with less boats and be targeting bigger fish.

If going with mates who want to catch a few I’ll take them to target schooled fish around oct to nov.
