2021 Snapper Season

[Mattblack]

Has anyone else started prepping for this years Snapper Season or is it just me?
It's looking like we'll be in and out of lockdowns until Christmas so I'm thinking I'll start hitting the water whenever I can regardless of the water temp (fingers crossed in the next week or 2!)

yep. retied all leaders and rigs, reels respooled, rods checked....not that I ever catch any.... Good luck.

[Mattblack]

Yeah, same...lifejackets, flares, batteries, etc all good to go.
The plan is to fish WPB for all the early season snapper I've read about over the years. (have always fished top of PPB early in the season)
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I doubt we'll be out of lockdown before October so you might not get a chance for early snapper unless you are 5k';s from the mark

A bit early. Haven't prepped anything. Haven't got the red fever itch.

Think on my first few trips I'll concentrate on finding bait balls on sounder and catching fresh bait..
Not going to target snapper till October, stick to the squid ext .

Planing to take a week off work in October.....

Yes. Because the Seagulls will surround you and **** covid down your throat if you step a single foot beyond 5km. And just because you're smart enough to hide under your bimini to escape said Seagulls, when you fill up more than 20l into said boat fuel tank the bowser will start leaching sars cov2 particles all over you....

So did you stock up on the genuine reedy’s this year or going for born2fush’s run out stock, never to be seen again VENOOOM rigs?

Why pay full price.

I’m a lazy p****, and generally just get everything ready the night before. Snapper season is overrated anyway

Last season there was that much bait in the bay I could not get a single snapper on fresh or live yakka or slimeys
Only got them on silvers and squid heads
