as temping as it wass to go to the beer can regatta. we had a swim last Sunday in the channel(no current on those tides).

BIG snapper to 9.8kg's made it into the boat. even the small ones were big.

i know your gonna ask so......find the deepest section of the channel just wide of the sandbar, locate bombies or ridges on the sounder and drop a line there.

Saw another photo of the fish being held. Is a very good size fish! Heard it was the NT spear fishing record?

Didnt get a lenght of it did you? Would be interested to put a lenght to weight for the memory bank as i havent weighed one for years and only take length measurements now days.
