urhookedfish 12 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yep AFF gets a few ruggers over at Pt Vic by trolling minnows and Lee Rrayner just did an article about trolling for Port Phillip Bay Snapper on a down rigger set up to get lure down deeper and uses deep diving Rapala x raps. Ive never achieved on on a hard body yet. so that is a great catch in anyhones books mate. Nice nice work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
