urhookedfish 12 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Try the old skool grounds like:Broken Rock or Head out to the Sphinx or you could head out wide to the shoal for an almost gauranteed snapper or two.Heres the marks.Broken Rock 34 55 219 137 23 385The Sphinx (good for ruggers) 34 51 282 137 19 232Out wide on the shoal where there is a nice ledge (this is straight out from Hardwicke Bay but launch at Turton)34 42 283 137 16 004 Get out there and get amongst it and if the snapper arent biting be sure to have a whiting bait down. afishyfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bear_necess 0 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks for that bit of advise. Are the fish on the shoal generally small fish or are there big fellas out there too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Definately some big fish on the shoals..most keen snapper anglers from Hardwicke Bay head out there. Im not sure of exact distance but believe its like 20km plus or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Be carefull that you are going really slow cos its very shallow and watch your sounder for holes. (if you make it up to Port Minlacowie then youve gone to far). Find a Hole and on Dusk burley up with cubed pilchards and you should be a chance of catching some reds that cruise into the reefs to feed on crabs and squid etc. David_C and TENNANT 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mully_madness 1 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 sorry uhf but i dont think that was enough info :laugh: shouldi be fishing in the holeon the left hand side or the right or what about ifi put my bait in the middle .oh 1 other thing should i use hooks on the oend of my line or will the fish just hang on for a fun ride :laugh: .

psari 19 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 All really great spots and great advice there unhookedfish, Most of those spots are heavily fished round summer time. Shoal grounds are roughly 27 kms out, so I would be only going in biiig boat. If you want to try in close try towards Minlacowie there is some xcllnt spots close to rocky reefy areas that fire up in the coming months.Closer to Pt Turton (16Kms out)there is a ground I call "the spit" also worth a try. Good luck and tight lines. urhookedfish and statesquider 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yep some great advice there too Psari, great to see that we are both thinking alike when it comes to finding snapps in that area. I think there is nothing better than helping anglers to gain a better chance at landing some decent Reds and also passing on some of our experience to them. Our advice could literally save them a year or two of fishing for doughnuts.And in my books thats a massive help! :clap: Its fantastic because I have a great network of friends and if I ever need to go somewhere new that I havent fished yet, I can just ask around and get some quick advice on where the snapper are, and I also know that I could put up a post on here and have some great knowledge come from the great guys on this site!! And as youve just said none of the GPS marks that were given are Secret spots. They all just natural structure that nature has given us and doesnt move.. LOL ;) ;)So I really dont see what the MADPLOPPERS issue is..LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
