Cheers Will.Very informatve as usual.Keen to get out once the weather settles.My mate tells me theres a bloke been getting out in the arvos and getting a few Squier at Palmy.Keep up the good work
Hey Phil, thanks for the comment mate! Yes hopefully it will calm down for us soon, fingers crossed! 🤞🤞 That’s interesting about the Snapper at Palmy, I guess it’s natural that they come close to shore as winter approaches! Gravel Patch would be worth a look too. I appreciate it mate, stay in touch 👍🎣
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe Hey mate, it’s different depending on where you are in Australia. But here in South East Queensland they can be caught out wide in 60 metres plus over summer as long as the current isn’t running hard, but the traditional snapper season here is the cooler months through winter. The Snapper come in close to shore around this time of year, and stay until Spring 👍👌🎣
Thanks Johnny! I appreciate the comment mate 🙌 The good thing about most of these lures is that you can put them in the rod holder and still fish with bait on the other side of the boat anyway! 😁 tight lines legend
G’day mate, yeah I’ve used those before! They’re actually really good hey, I’ve caught snapper and some other reef species on orange and pink ones. They’re great to leave in the rod holder too!
Good one Will. Always good to get info from one who has put it to the test successfully. One question. How wide out were you chasing the snaps? Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Warren! I appreciate it 👍🎣 I usually chase Snapper anywhere from about 5-20km offshore most of the time. A lot of the fish in this video were actually caught quite close to shore in around 30 metres of water, in places like the 18 fathoms off the Gold Coast, or Murphy’s reef at the Sunshine Coast. We also do a fair bit at the 36 fathoms off the Gold Coast, which is around 20km out and 60 metres deep. There are also places in Moreton Bay where you can chase these fish not too far from the boat ramp, at places like Redcliffe/Scarborough and peel island further south 👍🎣
G’day Paul thanks for the comment mate! So what we do is use braid as our mainline and fluorocarbon leader. As we only use fairly light line, we use a ‘double uni’ knot to tie the leader straight onto the braid. Then use 2-3 metres of leader and tie the soft plastic/jighead straight onto that. The line we use is as light as 12lb braid and 14lb leader, but 20lb braid and 20lb leader is absolutely fine for all size fish👌
Hey mate thanks for the comment! I’m glad it was helpful. If I could figure out how to turn the weather good, I’d be an instant millionaire I reckon! 🤣👍🎣
Hey mate, I said 60 metres. Fishing in 10-20 metres, I’d be using around a 1/4 ounce jighead! Anything heavier would probably get snagged a lot, but on a day where you’re drifting really fast because of wind or current, 3/8 ounce might work. It’s about getting the plastic floating down as slowly as possible, but still getting it down close to the bottom. It doesn’t have to be bouncing right on the bottom! A couple of metres up is absolutely perfect. I’ll attach a video below showing our full technique chasing snapper on plastics, it’s very simple and VERY effective. I think you’ll find it really helpful. Tight lines mate, I hope you get out there and catch some snapper 😁👌 ruclips.net/video/9hpA9OFK9Cg/видео.html
@@carlm6334 It’s a pretty great part of the world! Especially for fishing. A great mixture of northern and southern species to keep things exciting! We get the best of both worlds 😁👍 feel free to come and sad g’day if you ever see us on the water mate.
On ya Will, thanks I have to agree with what you said as its how I’ve seen it too. Tight lines, screaming spools and cold ales
Thanks heaps for the comment mate! Good to know you agree and have seen the same feeding behaviours as me from the snapper. Tight lines legend! 🙌🎣
Very helpful video. So much good basic understandable information
Thanks Paul I appreciate the comment mate 🙌🎣

Hey Dan thanks for the comment mate, hopefully it was helpful! 👍🎣
Good info mate. Will have to put the bait away this season and try chasing them on lures 😊

Good stuff Wil thanks for the vid, it'll be great if we could actually get out and try and catch a few💨💨⛈
Thanks for the comment mate! I always appreciate your support 🙌🎣 Yeah tell me about it! The weather is doing my head in 😂😩

Hi great informative presentation I am new to fishing , with the soft plastics what’s the best way to set up the line with plastics on it

Good info on the lures, looking forward to giving it a try. Can you do anything about the weather? ;-)

@@willkitching bro best lure for baramundi
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe Which one mate? The Zman? 👍
@@willkitching yes bro
Great stuff Will.
I'll definitely have to try some of those pink minnowz.
Thanks Terry I appreciate it! The pink minnowz are great out on the reef for some reason, Snapper and other reefies seem to love them.👌🎣
Did you say 60 or 16 because I fish in water around 10 to 20 so what size would be best
Hey mate, I said 60 metres. Fishing in 10-20 metres, I’d be using around a 1/4 ounce jighead! Anything heavier would probably get snagged a lot, but on a day where you’re drifting really fast because of wind or current, 3/8 ounce might work.
