A good fish to me starts at 5kg above. These I'd say are decent mainly the first one. Every time I've sounded fish like that I've got a easy 5.5 6 kg plus fish. Bottom one 3 to 4 kg I reckon

5kg plus is a big red for me.

A few reports of snapper being caught but most if not all are winter reds.

There is some warm water on its way, my guess is new season snapper will be here in about 1 week.
