Re: Docklands
The Snapper are still there.
I fished it last Sunday (27th) from the kayak, two of us caught and released at least 20 Snapper each in about 3 hours. There's some huge fish in amongst them, the biggest would have been around 70cm. They were moving around a lot, plenty of large and small schools on the sounder.
For landbased fishos I think it would be a matter of moving around a lot and chucking out really long casts. The fish weren't hanging around structure, they were schooling mid-water (2-3m) in 7-10 meters of water. Not one fish was taken off the bottom, all were taken working the lures through the 2-3 metre depth.
I started with small paddletail plastics, but no joy. Changed to curtail grubs on a 1/12th jighead and bang, that was what they wanted!

Thats sick. When i was there a few weeks back they were all around the pylons, maybe they saw a few of their mates get nabbed and thought theyd head for deeper water hahagreggo wrote:The Snapper are still there.
