Excited is good Jase but you got to soak those baits mate.
I was out last night and got some nice pinkies once again In the high 30s, a monster PJ and a short head worm eel lol. I’m trying buddy but still no mega red :P
William town is a hotspot right now, a snapper just being caught 68cm.
Lb or boat mate? Thinking of giving that area a crack early next week :tu:

Im no expert on snapper
One of the best snapper sessions ive had was about 5 years ago on a 15kn easterly close in at blackrock in 13m where it drops off slowly from 8m
We decide there because that there were a lot of fish caught close in that area that season
The fish were not timid at all there were buckled rods for about an hour that morning around tide change around 8am from memory we caught and released more than bag limit with fish to 4kg
