Bloody hell man how much burley were you thinking of using? hopefully it’s a run in tide with all that burley.Jasonfish1234 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 11:02 amYeah, I going get some Burley. this is have to work or may not be a snapper but there have to be something come see this burley tail that we make. Any thing would smell those 1 a way kilo. Hopefully someone show up 13, to help me for mega Burley adding they old bait and meat sausage block burley with tuna oil and my pallet. This would attract local snapper hopefully The plan will worksLightningx wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 10:53 amThank you brother! :thumbsup:Jasonfish1234 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 10:44 amyou got some pinkie that better then noting. :thumbsup: Snapper might come late September I think, it possible. You should try mount martia and frankston that where snapper mostly are the locals snapper while other snapper trying to get in to Port Phillp bay and western port for breed season. They are many possibility of snapper, are coming soon but we can't nail this accurate. The only thing would help is we would know this by word of mouth, report or someone is catching a Lb near CBD. that when snapper are ready in.

Re: Early Season Snapper 2019
No idea, but someone I was speaking to the other day uses the barge ramp? Never even thought about that myself.

Re: Early Season Snapper 2019
I'm curious to know if anyone uses circle hooks on a snell setup for snapper??

I have tried Robbie. There's a spot that I go to that the Snaps are min 50+ cm. We were trying to minimise gut/gill hooked snaps that we returned once our bigs were gotten.
First go was with two circles but found only ever hooked up with the leading hook and unfortunately got less hook ups.
Then a mate and I discussed it and came up with the trailing hook as a suicide. Hook ups increase with the trailing hook getting some but again some were gut/gill hooked.
So now we have reverted to only using a single circle, even on big baits when the Snaps are on but two snelled suicides if the fishing is slow. Nothing beats the euphoria of landing a Stonka once you realise the Snapper was cheek hooked.
Give it a go, if the fish are there , , , , but even a single circle with a modest bait would catch a 10kg. I think most of my Big snaps have been on a single hook with a small to modest bait, so the whole pillie idea isn't always going to give you the big boys.
Cheers, Bugs

Re: Early Season Snapper 2019
I use sport circles (vmc or owner mitzu) on the trailing hook, and a black magic c point suicide hook as the leading hook, I like these style circles as the eye is straight and not offset allowing it to pull straighter. You just need to get used to striking the fish a little lighter, if you are used to striking hard like the old mono days of the rod touching rocket launchers, then the circles can be a bit tricky. But when the fish are on they can help as the fish can hook themselves in essence.Robbie1950 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 9:16 pmI'm curious to know if anyone uses circle hooks on a snell setup for snapper??
This is super important as a dropped snapper can spook the whole school and the day is over, until the berly works to bring them back.

Re: Early Season Snapper 2019
