Where are the snapper

Post by fishnut » Fri Oct 26, 2018 11:13 am

Been out twice last week fished 13m out off Altona and between t14 and t16,marked fish on both occasions but got donuts
Know someone that fished 16m off black rock early yesterday morn for donuts
With all these reports not many being caught,so where will the fish be tomorrow shallow or deep
Seems they are moving around a lot or not feeding consiseintly
Any thoughts :(
