Glass out snapper...

[Peter4]

Ditched work and headed out into Moreton Bay with Kyle before first light this morning. Zoomed across a glassed-out bay in record time and arrived at our first spot before dawn. Had the entire place to ourselves all morning...

The snapper were active and willing along the shallow reef edge and Kyle managed 3 legal fish (38, 40 & 45) to my two (36 & 40). We lost a couple of good fish to pulled hooks and Kyle lost his favourite Bevy Shad to a hungry tailor. There was plenty of surface and bird action and the snapper were feeding under schools of tiny pelagics. They hit hardbodies, blades and jigs...

We also caught a heap of undersize snapper and other species including tailor, moses perch, pike and morwong. No cod despite the recent rain. All fish released to catch another day...

Motored back home across a still glassed-out bay to be met just short of Wello Point by the same Marine Police that pulled us over a few weeks ago. Nice blokes more interested in fishing techniques after checking our safety gear.

Another top morning on the bay. Pics will follow tonight.

Cheers

Pete
