Snapper Still On @ Altona

Post date: Dec 20, 2010 9:9:40 AM

The Prez joined Darren and Ray for an afternoon of snapper fishing out at Altona last week and after not more than 4 minutes, four rods buckled over and the fishing was on! After a short wrestle, The Prez landed a beautiful 70cm snapper, while Ray and Darren reeled in another two at around 45-50cm each. It seemed like an ideal start to the afternoon, but then the fish must have sensed the squall approaching and went quiet. Waves hit 1.5m and we all hung on tight and took cover while the rain swept through the bay. Darren's sturdy 5.3m aluminium plate boat handled the conditions well. By around 8pm calm returned to the bay and we changed location and took another two snapper of approx 45cm each. A total haul of 5 fish for the boat in what turned out to be a great night with the boys. Thanks Darren & Ray!
