Soft-baiting for Snapper + Squid session! (Catch and Clean)

Ahoy fisho's! This week I go Inshore soft-baiting for Snapper at one of my favorite local spots. This trip I'm joined by good mate Jimmy Peirson from the Brisbane Bulls & Brisbane Heat Cricket teams to see if we couldn't put a bend in a rod or two. It was a classic early bird gets the worm ordeal with pre-dawn producing some awesome action, then once that tapered off we hit some shallow weed beds in search of a feed of squid! An absolutely cracking day on the water with plenty of action and laughs to be had. Thanks very much for watching, I hope you enjoy the episode!

    That is absolutely epic mate! Typical Snapper, biting hard like that early! The last 3 sessions I've had now, I've got a fish on the first drop/cast, before first light. The action on those plastics is actually awesome too, when you dragged it beside the boat I was shocked at the tail movement. Good stuff mate, even the rod holder notched up a few too hahaha! Cheers Sammy
