Got this pinkie (40cm) on Saturday morning in shallow water at Sandringham, not far from the yacht club. Conditions were cloudy with light northerly wind. Pinkie was taken on a black and white Gulp minnow. It's one of my first taken out of the kayak, and now I'm hooked. I'm dreaming about the big boys now... Mick

How easy was that - ask how to catch pinkies during the week, go out on weekend and get you first one! Congrats Mick.

Congrats Mick, swapping the fresh for brine is already paying nice dividends. Man our Vic fresh has suffered this year. Well done on Mr Pink.

Cheers fellas, yep wrapped to get this fish. Just out of interest, what are people's PB's on snapper out of kayaks? How big do people think they can go on the snapper out of kayaks? 5kg+? And for the local Melbourne guys, it sounds like the bigger snapper have shown themselves. Many reports of guys getting big ones on baits. Is there many reports of big ones on lures / plastics ? Mick.

Those snappers over here are the main target for rec fishing in NZ waters (north island anyway). Your right on the size of them redphoenix but that one of nakiman (while still a great fish) is not in the same league as a couple of those caught close to that location. I know dogfish caught a 28.5lber out of the same location - I seem to recall a post on it here somewhere plus 50ks south of the I seem to remember a 32lber being taking off a yak as well.

yeap a great fish to get hooked on
