I fuel the boat in rockbank and get to the 7 11 on the way to the ramp to pick up bait I had to wait 10 mins for it to open. Another boat turns up and we have a chat what your chasing where the usual things they told me they get gummies 5k off werribee I usually pass by going to my favorite spot a lot further out.
Put the boat in the water always a hassle by myself just time consuming 7am I approach 5k and decided to have a look around glad I did sounded some fish in 17mt drop the pick mixed up some burley dropped it down baited up the first rod pilchard as I was baiting up the second the girst rod took off in a big way. At first I thought it was a gummie but it had the unmistakable head shakes of a snapper this thing is pulling string like no tomorrow if its is a snapper I thought its going to be a good one. I was caught by surprise and only had my snowbee landing net close which promptly broke as I heaved the fish on board
I rebaited and got all 4 rods out 3 running sinkers 1 paternoster suddenly the patermoster buckles over it got circles on I pick up the rod half way through the fight gone, rebait put out again. Another rod goes off another snapper around 76 cm followed closley by one at 72cm I can't believe its march
