[beefs]

awesome work red - bet its nice to get a paddle out on the ocean and nab something besides a redfin! :wink: Looks like you might be in with a show in the comp this month!

 

[MangoX]

great report mate !

love that bend in the rod...

cant wait to see those underwater pics coming from your Olympus :wink:

cheers

 

[PoddyMullet]

Bloody good fishing Red, congrats on the snaps and *****'s. Love the sun shot aswell :wink:

 

[Naki Man]

Great report there Red - Nice snaps and great pic's too. Looked like a magic day. Have you ever tried dropping a slab of Kahawai (salmon) down behind one of those workups? You might be surprised at the size snaps down there

I was checking out that satellite map you posted on the comp thread. You guys have got some good structure to fish around.

Some of us Naki boy's are hoping to take Friday off so maybe we might have something to post in the comp.
keep up the good work

NM

 

[paffoh]

Holy crap dude!

Thats a ripper of a Snapper from a yak!

Congratulations... sooner i get down there the better

[Peril]

Well done Red. Lovely snapper and some good fun on the sambos

 

[hoit]

Nice snapper Red. What were saying about them being hard to track down...

 

[Jeffo]

thats a great shot of the rod bending over on the salmon. Congrats on the thumping snapper.

 

[Rod L]

Great report Red.
I can't wait to get down to Tuross in Jan next year. Hope we can hook up

 

[Milt]

Likewise Red, can't wait to get up there jan next year and do a bit of off shore fishing. Some excellent catches there mate well done particularly on the snapper.

I have also heard a fresh juicy salmon chunk is excellent snapper bait down here too. Look forward to catching up in the next couple of weeks and in January too.

Rod what dates are planning on being up there mate? At this stage intend to be up there from the 29th of December to the 4th of January stationed around bermagui.

Milt,

 

[ScottLovig]

Great red, red.

Cheers

Scott

 

[Daveyak]

Top stuff Red. Those salmon are really exciting on light gear hey? I'd also love to be able to get onto snapper like that. Great work & a good report.

 

[Dodge]

A nice red, Red, a terrific result.
And also liked the pic of the second dawn, no matter how many dawns and sunsets I see thay continue to be special
