Re: Do we over fish the snapper?
We had a few great seasons, then things seem to have backed off over the last few. This all coincides with good/bad spawning. According to fisheries research we should have a few good seasons soon approaching. The plagues of micro pinkies around at the moment is a result of good spawning, and great things to come. Keep giving them hell Matt....Spring is the start of a new season with a new run of fish buddy
Snapper sure do cop a flogging every year, but this flogging is sustainable. However, with the mass increase of fishos on the water each year, it's only a matter of time before further modifications of bag/size limits are made, in order to combat overfishing and help keep the fishery sustainable.

That is a STONKA Greg, well done , , , , and Landbased too :notworthy:
Land based Snapper should always be photoed at home , , , , after the satisfyingly weary adventure AND only letting people know what bench-top you have and not which landmark you are standing in-front of.
I only get excited about Land-based Snapper nowadays, that is fishing, the anticipation, the challenge, the meticulous approach, and the sense of achievement of landing the conquest :a_goodjob:

Re: Do we over fish the snapper?
Funny as i had 4 lines out this particular day,then the regular guy that fishes on that spot every day rolled up,and i told him i'm happy to take 2 of my rods out so he could fish,but he instead said sorry i don't speak much English. So i kept my lines in,an hour later it was on,and he was able to say come on i will help you.Got his net out and in the net it goes. As an eating fish i prefer 1- 2 kg models so i told him you could have it if you swap me with the next Mulloway you catch,he was not interested in my offer. I cannot give away where these nice fish are caught every day,but keep trying the bay is full of them at the moment,and so will be the Salmon in good numbers.
Re: Do we over fish the snapper?
Here in South Australia, they are over fished. Unprecedented closures and restrictions.
A land-based Snapper here in South Oz is as rare as the flies on Rocking Horse Poo.
You guys in Victoria are very fortunate.

Re: Do we over fish the snapper?
Didn't realize you were in SA. Seems there are some problems there from what I have read. Lived in Adelaide 2003-2006. Snapper were good then. I wonder if it is over fishing or an environmental change.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.
