Very calm day, a little too calm for the target species. My one and only bite for the day resulted in a decent luderick. |

Fun time out in the canoes with plenty of bites. Just out of Sandringham Yacht Club. Nothing big enough to keep, but good fun and beautiful day. |

Had the best snapper fishing ever. Had to throw them back for I had my 3 over 40cm early. Fish were biting right up to 11.30am. 14m of water off Sandringham. |

1 x bream @ 33cm |

Fished the end of the jetty and dropped bait under the higher part of the jetty. The bream tried to cut us off a number of times so we had to round pillers and crawl on the jetty to keep this fish on the line. If you go there take a range of tackle. Say you were staying a few hours, take two rods one for bait and the other for a lure. You should definitely take a net if alone and also take a few different lures and baits to experiment. Be sure to take soft plastics as well as metal lures. |
