Laura with her first ever snapper caught off Mud Island. A great result, as she caught it on a light kids’ rod.

Dash with his 46cm barred javelin. Down- stream to right of the photo is where the fish picked up the bait out from the man- groves. The rig was a base model Alvey 500B Easy Cast reel, an old cheap rod, 5kg mono, no swivels, tied by a locked blood knot to a 2/0 long-shank hook with a whole peeled cooked prawn for bait. The tiniest of pea sinkers was flattened an inch or two up from the hook to stop it sliding along the line.

This is a solid snapper from an early morning fish, caught floating a live yakka off Yamba.

Archie Richters is 5 years old and casts and retrieves by himself. He loves using the tail spinners from Hot Bite, as they are easy for the young fella to throw. This is his new PB, 49cm from Somerset Dam. Aidan Richters.
My brother Clint (in the middle) and I were fishing northern Moreton Bay for snapper. We were using live herring for bait on 50lb setups when I hooked a small fish (felt like a little snap). I nearly had it to the boat when this thing ate it and screamed back down to the bottom. We couldn’t believe it when we saw a cobia appear out of the dark, we were stoked!
