First big snapper….woooooooo !

Post by crookedfingers » Wed Mar 11, 2015 6:08 pm

Hey guys.
Headed out yesterday to mud island.
Left Martha cove at 8am, drifted for squid until we had a few.

Straight out to 22m just off mud island. Water was like glass, it was a great morning to be out !
Lots of flattys, a few undersized pinkies, a couple of small barracuda, a few banjos and an eagle ray which was a heap of fun to battle !

Then I got on to this big fella !!!

Almost 800mm and 7kg. Not bad for my first ever big red !!!
Went quiet after that, we went back in for some squid for the table, managed only 2 more.
Happy days.

Well done CF, very nice fish, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

That is a nice Red!
What tackle did you catch it on? Did it put up a good fight?
