Lockdown Outing 5.0 - Snapper

Date: 26/09/21

Weather: 13. Relatively clam seas, slight chop.  Water temp 13.8. 

Spots: MM snapper, Mornington snapper

Bait: Snapper took a whole silver whiting. Berley'd hard all day with old pilly and chook pellets/tuna oil. Pillies and squid also used for bait. 

Catch: 1 snapper! 80cm, 6kg. Bunch of flatties, southern rock cod, port jackson shark. 

Crew: Toon, Jax, Mac, Brendon, Bailey

Review: Left home 5am, high tide 6:40am. Was pretty quiet fishing most of the day. Snapper caught at Mornington Snapper at around 9:45am. No fish at MM Snapper spot, all fish caught at Mornington Snapper spot. The snapper was a beast!! Took many runs spooling line. Without this fish, would have been a pretty ordinary day, but it made the day awesome. 

Rating: 8.5/10. Early season snapper - hopefully they start rolling in more often in the coming weeks!!
