clark 57 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just looking for some advice on snapper in coffins bay apparently you can catch them along the ledge opposite the boat ramp running down to seal corner has anybody caught any snapper over there and if so whats the best time of year how deep or close the ledge do you fish ?any advice /info would be great I know you get the kingfish along the same area at certain times of the year also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylzzz69 95 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 AHHHHH the ol' ledge hey!nice spot to fish! was there a couple of weekends ago. fished from mid arvo til late.WEAR SOME BOOTS as the rocks are a bit sharp.We only caught whiting there and a few tommies but those tommies were sent flying back out as live bait.had one run that lasted for about 10secs so got me excited to go back.ledge would be maybe couple meters high but not too sure how deeplines tight!

Savagelip 4 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 spent a all nighter there few yr's back.. from what I remember it runs pretty hard through there on high tide and deep.. you can pretty much see from the ledge where to cast , got a few snags there to so take a few heavy sinkers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hi mate I've found the key time to snapper fish in the coffins channel is the hour period of slack water between tide changes.I don't think I've ever caught a snapper there when the current is running hard. If a tide change coincides with early morning or late evening then that's even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clark 57 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Cheers mate have you been out lately hitting your nannies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hey mate yeah I did catch a few a couple weeks back at the neptunes whilst out tuna fishing. First time I've tried for nannygai in a couple months as this time of year it's generally all about pelagics.Pelagics don't taste as nice as nannygai though :cheer: On another note I reckon the yellowfin whiting won't be far away as I saw a couple of those yellowfin blokes down the jetty last week having a good look around in the shallows for signs.

batesmotel 5 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 My snapper from that very area. Can't give tips though as this one just committed suicide. Well it must have as I was fishing for whiting, in the middle of an incoming tide, and at midday when it took a whiting snatcher rig with a small piece of squid. But who cares the proof is in the picture I say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
