Landbased snapper - short lockdown session

Post by bilby » Tue Jun 01, 2021 1:49 pm

I headed out for my 2 hours of approved exercise within 5km of home the other night. I was chasing mulloway up river as usual, but picked up a trio of really nice pinkies - 31cm, 47cm and 53cm. The 47cm fish was a very light sandy colour, while the larger fish was bright red straight out of the water and very chunky (I'd estimate about 2kg).

That’s a very nice session mate.
There’s still nice snapper around if you know where to go 😊
I found that out in my last session as well.
Nice catch.
Cheers 👍🏻

Thanks everyone. Just standard old pilchard I had in the freezer for these. It was great to catch some honest fish after my recent encounter with the huge "stingray" a few days ago in the same general vicinity.
