nath 134 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 Good work, nice catch! Took the boat out this evening mostly to air out the mattresses etc and have just finished filleting a few really nice snapper, little bit happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Nice one. Caught quite a few this size down Wairarapa ways over xmas. Nothing off the rods. But the torpedo picked up a few on the long line. Good eating. Hope you smoked the crappy Snapper and not the Gurnard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just know what fishermen (because I am one!) are like when it comes to tall tails!EDIT: Who am I kidding? From one fisherman to another it was just total jealousy because you got out on the water and I didn't! Edited January 16, 2013 by jeffbebe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
