Now that's a report with the lot! Nice flatty Seb. Those micro pinkies are everywhere and a real pain in the butt right now, but they're a great sign for snapper seasons in years to come.

Thanks.
Yup. Few more years and those 10-15cm pinkies will become legal sized.

What is the growth rate of snapper in the bay?

Around 4-5 years to reach legal size.
Here's a good quick read.

Not a bad flattie on a plastic Seb.
I remember years ago when I used to fish early morning there would always get smashed by those undersize pinkies. Millions of them. Looks like nothing’s changed.
