Fishing Victoria Forum

Hey guys ive been flooded inboxes for last two seasons people asking my what do i do when snapper fishing. To have so many successful trips.
Now i aint saying this is the only way or best way to fish for reds but its what works for me.
My advice as fellows
1 sunrise or sun set
2 good water temp (14.5 to 20c)
3 when eva possible tide change (if you can time a tide change with tip 1)
4 Brom (air pressure ) above 1014
5 if fishing at night fish shallow (under 7m)
6 freshest bait possible (not servo ****)
7 burley hard (i mean burley hard )
8 stay away from the crowds (fish on ur own
9 fish light as possible (rod reels and line class)
10 if fishing middle of the day ( tide change is a must) (and deep)
11 have a spred of baits ( mix them up different baits)
12 sound fish look for single fish i find this has been best
13 October to December (peak) jan to march (2nd run)
I hope this help fellow these and i hope this helps you get a fish of a life time

Where do u find ur barometer info?

Good info,just need to include prominent months of the year,as i go by when my Almond tree starts flowering

Thanks man, pretty much everything I do with the exception of 6 and 7.

6) Freshest bait possible - Is there a difference between servo pillies and tackle store pillies? Do you include a bait collection session before you go fishing?
7) Burley Hard - Do you mean chicken pellets + tuna oil dumped on the bottom in a burley pot, or cubing?

7. I don’t do this in westernport. Agree with the bit about staying away from other boats.
