Look! you haven't answered my question how big the snappers or something else in the guys' bucket were??? I wouldn't be surprised if they were just legal sizes of pinky or a bit bigger

HSK calm down champ, I didn't see the fish out of the bucket so it's hard to give an accurate size. What I did see was that he was carrying a 20litre bucket and 3/4 quartes of the snapper was sticking out with the tail way past the handle. The second fish was a salmon and its back was thickest I have ever seen, it was also sticking out of the bucket in a vertical position. Maybe the best way to describe the salmon is that it is one that John West would NOT reject :thumbsup:

Nice story mate the last part was funny it reminded me way back when i wanted to go fishing down Mt Martha and all my mates were saying there is nothing down there but rays etc etc,

Anyway i went down there with the usual white 20 ltr bucket by myself in the morning and i caught the biggest flathead i have seen in the bay it looked like a crocodile i placed it in the bucket with the tail sticking out like those guys and it felt great showing them when i got back.

I am going to sortie and try either Sandringham breakwall,Brighton Breakwall,or St kilda just can't make up my mind St kilda is my favourite, why because when if i catch zilch the consolation is, i go down to La porchetta's and get a nice hot pizza :)


have a good one

Just got to know that my mate went to Brighton Breakwall yesterday for 4 hours (late night) and he got only one snapper, it is not that big but it is his best this season as he says (48cm).

Have they arrived yet as the wise man advised? :bounce: It seems that shallow water areas in PPB have been dead quite for nearly a month.
