Thanks for this video, just got my first boat and been practicing launching and retrieving down at Patterson river before the spring. This video has helped so much as I don't know much about snapper fishing. Will be picking up some of your pre made rigs. Thanks
@@ReedysRigsgood on you mate, just found your channel really like the videos. Il be giving you a few more watches and have subbed to help out! I'm in Whangarei NZ Great tips from old Terry, tell him thank you aswel ! You should get him out on a episode fishing one time. Cheers
Keep doing you bro, good informative vid, ive been a big supporter for a lot of years now and look forward to the next vid hopefully I have better luck with the snapper this year cheers brother..
Great stuff mate I agree with the size limit increase maybe 30cm for snapper land base but if you are on a boat it’s 35cm minimum. Thanks to everyone taking the time to talk about fishing 🎣 👏
More great tips, loved hearing from the veterans of the bay Also - long shank UV fly whiting hooks, best ever- but I’ve run out, any more stock coming?
Great info champ a good question to ask would have been how does the early season rain events affect the fishing and what do they do when we get hit by big bits of rain that flushes alot of fresh water into the bay
Great video bro!! I was out on Sunday and found a deep hole full of flattys most around 20cm Got 13 over 30 worth keeping, but it was 3 hrs of drop down double hook up and bring ‘em in had to stop cos I was getting tired 😂
Talking with my dad about the changes over the last 60 years in PPB with very similar experiences. They used to be able to go out and fill the boat full of fish. In his old age, he feels back for taking large amounts of big fish that were breeding stock of the future. Now that the netters have been banned since 2022 our fishing will only get better. It takes ~3 years for a fish to get to 28cm size. As for the size limits samller fish does not effect rhe breeding stock as much as large fish hence for the allowance of 3 over 40cm. I think they should put a max size for a few years around 80cm to make it a 'slot' fish. Then our big breeders have a chance to spawn and fishing will be the best its ever been attracting more people to try it. If yoy fillet a 28cm snapper thats silly, cook it whole the meat will fall off the bones when done right and there is very little waste. My issue with charter boats they drive around like they own the water. They drive right up to you, drift so close or push up huge bow waves. Some have no sense for safety around smaller boats.
Bloody oath they should raise the size limit 27cm for whiting & 28 for snapper is way to small . Let them spawn more before we are allowed to take them will only add up to a better fishery.
Nothing better than an old Fibreglass boat and some good knowledge from the guys.
Great video, Brett. Love this the change up and variety. You're a great advocate for Victorian fisherman and small businesses. Tight lines mate.
Thanks, Brett. Your videos are super informative and your hooks are second to none support the local.
thank you very much all the best
Great insights and history regarding Port Phillip Bay, thank you!

Really cool and different video Reedy. You are a legend mate and keen to see the big fish you are about to smash or probably already have 😅
thanks Ben all the best bro , think they are on the other side this year !!
@@ReedysRigs they better swim across 🤣 I don't want just eagle rays with no reds haha
Great info champ a good question to ask would have been how does the early season rain events affect the fishing and what do they do when we get hit by big bits of rain that flushes alot of fresh water into the bay
I like to have a bit of rain early season , but not to much , i think it helps but im just guessing

dont think there is any need to close the season . they are almost to many fish if you include pinkies ..
good very good
7&8 kgs isn't big mate. I got a 12.6kg off Seaford in '98, and a 13.4kg off Ricketts Point after the fake flu pandemic.
Mate shut up stop having a go at the bloke hes trying to help people catch some snapper
