Weather: Finally the sun came out and the rain stopped. 19-25 degrees and calm water. Water temp a bit over 16 degrees.
Spots: everywhere. about 160ltrs of fuel over these 3 days to chase snapper. Headed mostly towards frankston, but also tried mornington, mt eliza, and west side of channel.
Bait: Silver whiting, pillies, squid, cubed pillies for berley.
Catch: 2x snapper (60cm (toon) and 63cm ross) and 1 x 60cm (properly measured) gummy
Crew: Day 1 took Hugget in am, and then Liline, Jax and Sam in pm. Day 2 Liline am and kids pm. Day 3 ross.
Review: 3x 5am b2b days to catch these things. Went everywhere to find them. Day 1 was hardest. Couldnt sound them or find them. Some dudes did catch a 3kg one off MM in around 18m water. Day 2 we found them at frankston in 12-14m of water. Some guys caught a 5kg snapper around 20m of water deeper out from frankston. They were everywhere but not biting for us. Day 3 we found them at same spot we went to day before where the guy caught a 5kg one and we snagged one too. Then headed off other side of channel then caught the gummy, then headed off again further south and caught another snapper.
Rating: 9/10. The final day topped it off, but to get out and spend 3 days fishing after it has been so bloody wet and miserable was the fix that was needed. 2/5 >50cm season snapper done. 3 to go.
