We’ll its that time of the year again – cool mornings, calm days and snapper !

The yakka schools have moved into the bay and the 145mm Squidgy Flick in yakka colour is a great producer with S-Factor applied 

Katrina hooked up on a classic glassed-out afternoon last week 

Katrina’s new PB at 81cm and 7kgs – G.Loomis NRX 852 + Shimano Stella 3000 – 15lb Power pro braid – 20lb fluorocarbon leader – Squidgy 145mm wriggler in Glo 

You often come across goldy’s in the deeper water over winter on the yakka schools as well

The ever preent tea leaf – they go hard at this size !

Beautiful, clean looking fish with great colour in their fins – they look great coming up through the clear water as well !

Our fantastic Lowrance HDS Gen 2 units with LSS-2 structure scan module have truly changed the way we fish ! 

Has been a great start to the season with some quality fish & reasonable numbers over the last week – lets hope it continues !

So many snapper – So little time – Scotto
