We have been struggling to find any decent snapper in the last three weeks at Green, Peel or Goat Islands. During the week I picked up some cheap 60mm Kato Karnage lures from BCF at 5 for $25. Rigged them with single hooks and gave them a swim yesterday morning on a solo run to Goat on the high tide.
The first one was monstered on the reef edge by what I suspect was a big cod that took my new lure into the reef...goooonnne!
Soon after I bagged a 40cm snapper on a slow rolling retrieve. He fought hard despite only having half a tail! One more small snapper (35cm) and some vermin saw me home by 10.00am.
Still looking for the bigger snaps...
Cheers
Pete
