Guest horses4courses Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 only caught them landbased from the breakwater "100 years ago" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squidla 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 yeah ive heard a few stories about the snapper of the breakwater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Dray 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 i dont have much luck with snapper but if you sound around the channel and mark up sum good ground or fish anchor up (outside the channel markers) and get a burly trail going sit back and wait. eventually somthing should swim past. goodluck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeykebab 175 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 all those rocks :pinch: i've made the trek several times and never caught a single snapper there. heard stories though but never seen proof. plenty of other easier accessible land based snapper locations. just berley hard and use fresh baits and you'll have a better shot then the breakwater.

grego 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've seen an 8 kg snapper landed from the rocks bout half way along near the old landing. I think it was a landing. I believe there is fish caught there regularly in the right conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piratepom 3,197 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 yeah ive heard a few stories about the snapper of the breakwaterGet out there and have a go mate' date=' make your own stories. :woohoo: Travel light if you're going to the end, avoid the seals, try a few different techniques and if you can't find any Snaps try a few different targets. I used to walk out there a few times a year and had a few ripper sessions and a few not so hot This pic' is from the rocks about 2 thirds of the way out.[img']http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/2986/img4907g.jpg[/img]Good luck.

pauly s 426 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 i got out there abit heading towards the end of snap season this year. plenty of undersize snaps. i got a few little ones then i hooked a bigger fish but hooks pulled when it was right in frnt was heartbroken. i did try earlier this week but nothing, thinkin it might still be early for them. really keen to get out there when they fire up.

captn9 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 a lot of seals at the end of rocks, try 1/2 or 2/3, some undersize ones, few legal ones if u lucky. worth to try, at least it will be a good exercise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snappa110 1 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 That recently was it?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ekul 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Plenty to be caught at the right place right time, hsv88 proved you can get big fish last year in the upper parts of the port river, why wouldnt they be along the rocks? A friend going back 4 years ago caught a 9kg snapper off the observation platform.good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickmav 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Try glenelg jetty on high tide tomorrow or the day after once this wind drops, you'd be in with a good chance. Del 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
