Hi all

had the day off so decided to hit the Northside for a change

got to the ramp around 11am

trolled from the ramp all the way to the heads with no hits

decided to bottom bash around the heads with only baby snappers so after one hour decided to hit our favourite spot around Newport 

within 5 mins of our first drop my mate hooked on something big using half pilly on a two hook sliding sinker rig

After a couple of minutes we had our first keeper on the boat

a 42cm snapper

Biggest legal snapper we got this year

hi fives all round and was a very good start

that was followed by more than a dozen baby snapper up to 25cm all went back to grow more

also got 1 legal Trev at 33cm with half a dozen going back to also grow more

also got about half a dozen yakkas which we use for live bait but no takers

we were using Pillys chicken strips and yakkas for bait

went quiet around 4pm so decided to head back closer to the ramp before the sunlight disappear 

tried a spot near the ramp and the bridge but the current was too fast and can’t touch bottom 

we were using 4oz snapper sinkers 

decided to head back to the ramp around 630pm

took home 1 snapper 1 Trev 3 yakkas

Home around 830pm 

asleep by 10pm

was a quiet day in the water today 

thanks for reading

sorry no pics
