Guest addict Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Is there anyone on this site who are pretty serious on chasing metro snapper? I go out all the time when there on the chew and do quiet well on them. Im just trying to spark up a conversation if theres anyone it would be great to here your methods and theories and how well you may do. I recon the last two years inperticular has produced loads of snapper metro and this season should be no exeptoin. It may be a better season than the last.cheers addict the obsessive compolsive fisherman {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ospray 1 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have never seriously been into chasing snapper although I will give them a go if I'm in the right area. I am willing to learn a few secrets, also a mate of mine who fishes the Noarlunga/Christie Beach area has done well on them in the last couple of years, he is pretty tight lipped about where he catches them, all I know is that he works the reef areas in around 18meters of water.I will keep an eye on this topic and see what else is revealed.

Guest addict Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 howdy butters i hear port augusta didnt work out as planned for ya squid was hard to find bummer I dont fish of shore mainly shallower water and do ok i dont fish the north haven area much i fish down south only at night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Butters Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 yeah was pretty tough.. took about 3-4hours to get one..only heard of 1 hit that moring which paul had. i heard from another guy that got one through the week 58lb..I'll be hitting up a few grounds down north haven way inshore mainly.. when the water gets a bit stirred up and bit of chop there... less boaties out burning around spots.. do you usually find the inner grounds fire better at night due to less traffic on the water??i do have a spot in the port river that i have managed a few good rugger in my kayak which i'll be hitting abit during summer aswell..

Guest addict Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 snapper definatly bite best at night and early morning late arvo is ok to but where i fish night is best run in tides light running sinkers i dont know much about the outerharbour grounds but could be worth a shot at night places like semaphore reef the john rob outerharbour channel any reef system deep or shallow its worth a crack at night for shore i have found pilchards and slimmey macs work best for me ill chuck up some metro snapper pics when the fish come through Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Butters Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 No worries, will give s few spot a night time session and see how we go..I'll see if i can get a few up aswell..what size range do you normally get into? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest addict Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 the fish size varies say from ruggers to 9kg but mainly in the 4to 6kg size range you might of seen some pics on the mullyskingsreds site the outerharbour channel is worth fishing now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest xtrafishyfish Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Addict, I also fish the local metro grounds for snapper at night but I fish out really deep. I'm hoping to spend more time out there this summer in search of the real biggies {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
