WP Snapper Report - 23/10
Woke up at 5.30AM and realized there's an 8AM high tide at WP, so quickly packed the boat and headed out to Warneet.
By 7.30AM was out in 18m of water off Warneet, just as a patch of heavy rain and winds hit WP. Not long after, my 'cheapo' Kmart rod buckles over and the reel starts screaming...
Took it easy and 15mins later boated a nice 6kg red.
Bait used was 3 weeks old silver whiting, re-frozen.
Not many boats out there as the water was very choppy and rain was heavy at times.
Had to be back home at 10AM, so I packed up soon after and headed home.
Got to love these quick sessions.

Very nice snapper! Encouraging, as I've been planning for a couple of days now on heading out off Warneet tomorrow, also with my swank Kmart rods...

I will be around WP tomorrow too.
Stick to the drop-offs and you will be ok.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them
