HIT THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON TO CATCH THE NEXT VIDEO COMING SOON
I HEADED OUT ON A SOLO MISSION OVER TO THE ISLAND TO FIND A FEW FISH AND MAYBE CATCH A FEED FOR THE FAMILY
UNFORTUNATELY ITS SNAPPER CLOSE SEASON ATM SO I CAN'T ACTUALLY KEEP AND BUT I DID HAVE A GOOD DAY ON THE SNAPPER IN THE BAY
I DID SNAP A ROD THO :( SO IT WAS A EXPENSIVE DAY FOR ME

Was it drag washers worn out in that reel or mucked up placing of the stainless washers between them. ?

[@dadbodsfishing7286]

Hi mate yea the drag washers where abit average it has been replaced with carbon washers now but still abit iffy on that reel after this day that was a good fish I lost that day

[@Tom-gc9lr]

Hey mate love the videos keep them up 👍🏽👍🏽I Are you casting over the wrecks as you drift, or just flicking the bail arm to let the plastic drop before you drift on top of them ?

[@dadbodsfishing7286]

Thanks mate.👍👍👍👍👍👍 I normally just drop it all the fish i see are under the boat,no point throwing my lure away from what I can see and I like just drift my lure down to try make it as natural as possible instead of the line pulling on it 👍👍👍👍

What's a good reel size and line to use for soft plastics on shallow reefs and casting lures in the Port?

[@dadbodsfishing7286]

Hi mate I use a 4000/5000 size reels With 20/30 pound on them that would be a good starting point

[@ggghggfd9164]

hey boss great vids love your stuff i subbed! i go over to moreton once a year and struggle at curtain, i'm heading over again with the old man in november and i was wondering what plastics you were using?

[@dadbodsfishing7286]

Cheers mate I use gulp soft plastics mainly 5 inch jerk shad in the glow colour or pink shine and i use 4 inch jigging grubs in like a pumpkin or pink shine also most gulp works its just matter of getting it down the bottom with the current that oumps through there

[@dadbodsfishing7286]

DADBODS FISHING thanks

[@getthenetfishing8979]

Hey are you drifting of anchored. fish curtan a lot and don’t get a lot of luck on the snaps but trevs and parrot I get a lot

[@dadbodsfishing7286]

Hi mate I drift most of the time I only anchor for overnighters

[@getthenetfishing8979]

DADBODS FISHING yeah cheers any wrecks better than others

[@thepaynes_ltd]

Right time right place they all hold something

[@tomtucker00]

Mate the whole idea of the closure is to leave the snapper alone to breed. They can't breed while you're catching them. Go fish for something else during the closure. Bream, flathead, tailor are all sensible options

[@dadbodsfishing7286]

That day I was trying to get a few sweetlip as the trip before I got a few in the same areas, I wasn't actually trying to catch them its just they hang around the same areas and thats how the day turned out its only cause of the close season i reckon I caught that many they all went back and I fully agree with the close season im all for it i just cant pick and choose what eats my plastics on the day .
