    Hiding from the wind



    It's been howling winds for the last 3 weeks and cabin fever had set in so we had to go for a fish. it was pissing down and blowing 25knots but There were a few options available to get out of the wind so off we went.

    I hopped in when we first got there looking for some crayfish but couldn't find any.... Instead I saw some pan sized snapper so smashed them with the gun and headed back to the boat for a fish.

    we had to weed through the smaller fish but we managed a couple of nice snapper.

    5kg

    7kg on 4kg mono


    Snapped my steering cable coming back into the estuary so with a bit of quick thinking we were back safe and sound at the ramp after hand steering the engine for 10 mins.

    Nice critters Mozza. I love how their mouth seems to take the shape of a raptor's beak. I can only imagine what a hard bite these fish have!
    Glad you got a few.
    Now that your cool season is setting in our warm one is arriving and the fishing is going off. Come see us if you want.
