2019 snapper season

Tough start to the season for sure. Lets hope it picks up quickly

Not a great start IMO. I've only hooked up to a couple and have put a lot of hours in.

[ducky]

Agreed. Fished frankston 15m 2 nights ago at 16.0c. Sat on good fish for stuff all. hopefully these last couple of days bumps it up and fires up the season.

So much bloody bait around too. Bodes well for future seasons. But I reckon the sheer availability of food would be affecting bite windows too.

Still not on the board from the shore :-/

So many boats out at black rock last night! Counted 28 clustered together at sunset. Any reports?

When I’m out that way, there’s always plenty of boats out there. It’s a very popular spot.

Does anyone know the current water temp in both the bays at the moment?

What I have found In my experience over a life time of fishing both bays is for the temperature to rise significantly it needs a succession of high temp days over a week or two to show any significance. The weather we have at present is too spasmodic with extremes at either end cold and hot with no continuity for either.

I was fishing around st.leonards on Wednesday and the water temp there also was around 15.5
