snapperhead

Yeah Ranger the tradition continues but this time I didnt have Steve Starling around to do the extraditon It wasnt till afterwards that I thought about pictures too it would have made good viewing cheerssnapps

This could only happen to me Went bream fishing yesterday with Chuck and as usual my casting left a bit to be desired and I ended up deep into a mangrove.Not to worry 5lb leader just wrap it around my hand and pop the line WRONG !!!! Only I could snap a nitro jighead in half......felt a stinging pain in the back of my hand and slightly confused couldnt figure out why I had fishing line coming out of a bleeding hole in my hand.Being slow it took a minute to realise what had happened, the now broken jighead hook had flown back at high speed and completely embedded itself in my hand A tug o

Friend of mine in Pirie has one and Ive fished from it plenty of times and Im not aware of any issues but Im not sure if his was built by Hodge MarineGreat boat in my opinioncheerssnapps

Feel for ya Del it happened to me earlier this year, they smashed the rear window and helped themselves, the bastards not only stole my fishing gear but they also took my overnight bag containing my clothes for the weekend, sunnies, gps etc etc.I still get peeved about the fact that one of them is walking around wearing my clothes Lets hope that there is karma and it bites them on the arse cheerssnapps

I worked Sat, Sun, and monday !!!! :angry: Got tomorrow off though so I might go out and try off the rocks......thats if I can drag myself out of bed I need a rest

Gday Jason hows life on the island treating you matecheerssnapps

Thanks Del that explains it all now Im getting a bit slow in my old age

Email sent but can you explain what the comp is ......have I missed something ?What do I need to do other than send an email with my details?Im sure I can think of some more questions but that will do for now cheerssnapps

And to make matters worse we had the pleasure of watching a boat drop anchor directly out from us and pull 2 snapper in 2 casts.I wont mention the names we came with to describe this guys action but I think most of you can use a bit of imagination to figure it out. There was not another boat in sight or another rock fisho to be seen and with the choice of the entire bay he had to drop anchor just metres out from where we were casting and then pull a couple of fish out that we might have latched onto. One went 5kgs or so I reckon so wasnt a bad size specimen.Next time mate we will get one

Great write up :cheer:

And who said size doesnt matter You might have to attach a flag to the end of that sucker every time you use it Thats one beast of a rod I will have to check it out cheerssnapps

Mullies mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmLove fishin the creeks for these suckers once the weather cools down.Already done a couple of successful trips.I will also be back to chasing snapper again I reckon seeing that Im back in the upper gulf region. Im that keen I went out and got myself a new reel for chasing them last week so look out you reds.I got one of the new Pflueger Arbor 40's if it works as good as it looks and feels I reckon another one might be joining the stable before the years out.cheerssnapps

Just caught up with the thread Nev the rod looks tops mate well worth the effort.I can hear those snapper worrying from here they know they are in trouble now that you will be armed with the new improved beast.cheerssnapps

Gee mate she doesnt look that old Im in too let the fun begin cheerssnapps

Bugga I just found some more I knew I should have had a good look first

Its the only pic Ive got at the moment I think of me with a mully

Cheers mate hopefully I see you out on the water then

Nice fish mate well done.Those fly's are proving to be a real winner.Chuck and myself got stuck into a few mullies on the weekend on sp's and I decided its time to crack out the flyrod and tick that box next trip.I will let you know how I go but if its anything like last weekend I reckon the box could already be ticked Keep up the good workcheerssnapps

Someone chop off his fingers so he can never use a keyboard again Thats way too much much info mate I was going to suggest he try the wet areas cheerssnapps

Geez Sandy I thought you had more class than to go for the BOMBERS

No worries Adam I will take you up on that offer its always much better watching the footy with a few drinks and some company it just dont seem right when you are screaming at the tv and theres no one else around to appreciate the emotions :S cheerssnapps

Yeah Scaley I think you may be right there and I think the supporters deserve one too

Geez mate dont tell me you still go for the power I thought by now you would have seen the light and crossed over to the good side.cheerssnapps

No worries and Ive got to agree with you about april Might even be the same creek if so I guess I can see em in actioncheerssnapps

Very nice indeed what sizes are you tying them and are they all weighted ?If you ever have a few extra lying around I would gladly take them off your hands I would love to try them out on some mullies in a creek or two they look shmick mate well donecheerssnapps
