We've been hang'in out for the snapper to come on - So with  a reasonable weather forecast for Thursday Katrina & I headed up the Island for a look :-

We arrived in the area we wanted to fish with the tide change at 7am - After sounding around a bit we managed to find some bait with a few better marks. We fished 5" GULP baits on TT 3/0 - 1/4 oz heads on 20lb leaders with 20lb FINS braid. Katrina's first fish was a small Samson - we managed quite a few of these before moving a little further up -

There where quite a few tuna working in the area with better fish marked around the bait schools - The every present Vermin Mac !

Persistence paid off in the end when we finally marked some better fish with the HDS 8 - resulting in our first snapper

We managed half a dozen nice fish from 50-65cm overall with a couple of wipe outs on the bottom - there's nothing quite like a decent snapper to get you pumped !

We kept a couple for dinner & can't wait to get back out again for some more - How Good Is Winter in Hervey Bay

With perfect weather forecast for the weekend - we had to slip out for an arvo session due to being rostered on Sunday !

Not quite what we were targeting - but a pretty cool long tom all the same !

We sounded around a few marks with not a lot to work with - Katrina with our first squire 

Came across one nice school of fish & Katrina got her PB snapper

Can't wait to get back out there again soon - Scotto
