Jax's Snapper



 Date: 5/12/21

Weather: Fine and mild. Chop picked up in the middle of the bay.  

Spots: ifish patterson past channel and special spot near aquafarm

Bait: Silver whiting, pillies, squid, cubed pillies for berley.  

Catch: 1x snapper (74cm 5.5kg), baby gummy, 2x good sized flatties, 2x squid.  

Crew: Toon adn Jax

Review: Hit the ifish spot past the channel. Great spot. Need to keep sounding that area and find it for real. Then hit up my special spot near the aquafarm. Berley'd hard early on which i think brought the snapper. Also caught a small gummy and a few large flatties from this spot. Good area.  

Rating: 9/10. Promised Jax he would get his snapper before xmas - did it!
