It was, the poor little buggers were struggling across the beach in the mid day sun. Their shells were hot to touch. You could almost see the relief in their faces to be gently placed in the ocean!Quote:

So there will be plenty of food around.
Have heard reports of 2-4 kg pinkies around Beaumaris, Black Rock, Mordialloc between the 16-18 metre mark.
so all in all looks like a good season coming up.
Will have to come out with my mate after the Grand final
I'll start planting the seed
At the moment I'm not sure, but last was great, this year should be the same.Quote:

Here's the unluckiest snapper around, I hooked him on the bait jig while trying to get some livies. One tiny little hook in the top of his bump was all that held him. He's estimated at 12-15 pounds and going on the barbie today for lunch :)

A trip across the bay normally takes about 45 min took nearly 3 hours . It was just a big wind bullet . There were quite a few boats in trouble as it came with no warning
