[@jamesleadbeatter3632]

Nothing like an old sammy hitzke video to prepare for tomorrow mornings snapper sesh

[@rezajafaripaneza3607]

Well done! Great video! Has all the info, loved the finish explaining all the gear used in details 👏🏻

[@craigmccann1028]

I worked the overnight last night. I caught this Vid @ 9 Minutes old. In the middle of the night, on an all-nighter, this was a breath off refresher air.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for watching mate! Hope it made nightshift a bit more manageable!

[@calebgates1470]

Always a good day when you’ve got a fish on the line before the suns even up!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Bloody oath! Doesn’t get too much better then 3 fish in 4 casts! 🍻🍻

thanks for the video;fishing in the dark is the best fishing time for catching big prey;right!!!the sun's light in the large horizon ,and the sound of the waves--god it's moving!!!

Great show as usual mate keep it coming

That was great Sam. Good video, good day and good company. I like that new squid jig!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I reckon we need a few more hey tez! We need all the help we can get!

[@willkitching]

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

Got to love those pre-dawn nibbles. Man I miss snapper fishing, can't wait until they're back on the legal target list down here.

[@terrytailor]

When does the closure finish? We were down there in March and noted they were off the menu.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Might have to plan another trio back up then mate.. I know a guy 👌😉

[@staunchpirateproductions3919]

@@terrytailor 1159pm 31 Jan 2023. Not that I'm counting down or anything haha. There are a few occasions where the South East Snapper fishery is open but it is based on a recreation fishing quota which is filled very quickly.

[@wrap-itsolutions2387]

Loving the videos mate ... completely addicted! ... when you're getting hit by mackerels like that is it an idea to put a leader on? or does that ruin it for the snapper? Keep up the good work!

[@jordythebassist]

How deep is it at that spot Sammy? I see you regard this as shallow water Snapper, but for me it looks fairly deep compared to what I would call shallow water Snapper which is 2-6m deep. But that's Melbourne for ya 🤷‍♂️

[@Garthy_]

hey mate I was just wondering what rod and reel combo you use

[@suharlili2238]

What reel and what size are in your boat? and what reel and what size do you and your friends use? Thanks before
