Fishing Articles & Bloggs:
After 3 big bays at the AFTA show playing with all the new gear I was in "need" of a fish once we got home & with a glamour forecast Katrina & I headed straight to the gutters .....
The 1st fish in the boat was a surprise yellowfin that ate the Squidgy 160mm wriggler in white lightning selected for a snapper !
Katrina managed one of our target species next ....
Following up next cast with a better fish !
What I initially thought was the snapper from hell - turned out to be the biggest Goldy I have ever caught !
I followed it next cast with another one nearly identical in size - talk about go hard on 20lb snapper gear !
This lovely trout was a surprise on the Squidgy 125mm Whipbait again in White Lightning ..
Even this lovely Spangled emperor liked the Squidgy Whipbait in White Lightning ...
Finished the day off with another cracking Goldy ! It was a fantastic day on the water with plenty more to come with stable winter weather patterns & hopefully a few more snapper 
Check out the video above for more action from what was an awesome day on the bay
