Finding a Red Snapper On Your Sounder

There are two great ways to find a snapper. The first is simple and has been done since the ages. Know the usual areas where the snappers are found, anchor up, spread out the bait and wait! If you're fishing at Port Phillip and Western Port, where there are a plenty of fish for you to catch, this method works perfectly.But there's another way to do it. This involves use of newfangled electronics such as the sounder. This method gives you a better idea of where the fish are, and saves your time by also telling you where they're not. But you shall need to educate yourself about the basics of how a sounder works – learn how to interpret a sonar image, for instance.

Looking for a Snapper

Where do you look for a snapper? Everywhere!! Always keep your sounder turned on, as you never know where the fish might turn up. Often you find them were you're least expecting. But generally the fish may be found in shell banks, open mud, structure marks, reef or cunje beds and scallop beds Always keep in mind that you may well be driving over the fish.

Do lures work on the snapper?

Of course, they do. The snapper will have a right go at any food that appears in front of it. So bait fish are quite effective in catching the snapper and lures do work.

The Best Bait and Berley

Well, the bait is most effective if it's fresh. Fresh squid work great and you may have them frozen after catching them, so that they remain fresh. But nothing beats catching them live and using them immediately.

For a berley trail, there's nothing better than a block of pilchards that are cubed up and applied well. Pre-made berley blocks or snapper snacks are also available, which are considered more convenient by many. Mind you, the berley isn't really that effective in a heavy tide.

Get a Boat

If you want to catch more snapper, then you should be getting a boat. There is only so much that you can do from the shore, unless you have a plenty of patience and a lot of discipline.

Anchor or Drift?

Well, that depends on the speed of the tide. If this is high, as it usually is at Western Port, it doesn't make sense to drift. Just lay down the anchor. On the other hand, if the water is shallow, like at Port Phillip, drift away! In fact, drifting in targeted areas is a fantastic way to lure the fish.

The Right Time to Fish

The best time to fish in early spring is at the first and the last light, as the bite times are quite short. The bite time increases and the fish become faster as the season progresses, and you may even try your luck in the middle of the day.

Finally

Never compromise on your safety. Risking your life is not cool regardless of how excited you are about the snapper season. Equip yourself with the best safety gear.

Snapper Snatchers Rigs : Flasher Rig Tips When Fishing 

Snapper Snatchers are pre-tied fishing rigs – but they are no ordinary rigs. They come in a range of sizes and colours, and they all incorporate circle-style hooks, tied onto a tough 60lb trace material in a paternoster arrangement. The key to the success of the rigs is the fish attracting material attached to the hooks. Each hook is accompanied by flashy dressing, much like a saltwater fly. There is also a luminous bead above each hook, the glow of which can be intensified by shining a torch or strong light on them (just like a luminous trout fly). Even though it is recommended that Snapper Snatchers be used in conjunction with bait, the ‘fly like’ appearance of the hooks mean that you will always have a ‘bait’ in the water, no matter what.

Reedy’s rigs can be used for surf fishing also. This is one of the most novel uses for Snapper Snatchers. For starters, it’s just so easy. Tie the swivel at one end of Snapper Snatchers to your main line, and attach a star sinker to the other. Boom! You’re ready to fish! More than that though, they’re very, very effective in the surf. I have caught many Australian Salmon from the surf on Snapper Snatchers, and I know that fishermen who use them more regularly also catch other species like Gummy Sharks, Reef Fish, Mulloway and many more fish. List of potential target species is virtually endless. Basically, any time you are fishing with bait you could increase your success rate by using Snapper Snatchers instead of just bare hooks.

This season they are already a huge hit in Port Phillip Bay, Western Port, Lakes Entrance and Gippsland in Victoria. South Australia’s St Vincent Gulf and Metro Adelaide, Shark Bay in Western Australia, Sydney Coast line and Tweed Heads New South Wales and Brisbane Coast line, the list goes on and on. If you’re fishing for reds with your maximum rods, it’s worth making sure at least some of them are rigged with a Snapper Snatcher for a bit of variety. No matter whether you’re fishing from the shore or a boat, it is best to jazz up your Snapper Snatcher hooks with a small piece of bait. A strip of pilchard is ideal, especially in the surf. Pass the hook through the squid strip just once, towards one end of the strip, just as you would for normal circle hooks. Small fish fillets or pieces of cut up baitfish can also be used with Snapper Snatchers. When baiting up, it is essential to ensure the gape of the hook is not obscured with too much bait and the hook point is well clear of the bait. Once you have your Snapper Snatcher rigged, baited and in the water, do nothing! The circle hooks, are designed to hook the fish in the corner of the mouth as it takes the bait and moves away. Striking at bites will only pull the hooks from the red’s mouth, so it is imperative not to strike. If holding the rod while surf fishing, don’t start fighting the fish until you’re sure the fish is well hooked. If boat fishing, put the rod in a rod holder, low to the water, then sit back and wait for the fish to hook themselves. Don’t even touch the rod until there is a strong, sustained bend in the rod and/or line is pouring from the reel. It’s a hard habit to break, but it’s important. A great way to fish for snapper with Reedys rig’s is directly to the bottom, beneath the boat. Presumably the rocking of the boat gives the rigs some up and down action, which attracts the fish. It doesn’t matter whether you use your Snapper Snatchers in conjunction with a braid or mono mainline. You will get excellent hook up rates with both.

When fishing for Salmon in the surf or Snapper in the bays, Snapper Snatchers with Circle 5/0 hooks are a good choice. If you are specifically targeting Gummy sharks or Mulloway, go up to 7/0 hooks.
