Rippa of session mate! well done

[@willkitching]

Thanks heaps mate I appreciate the comment! We were definitely happy with this session, they’re not always this good! 😁👍

[@flippa1976]

Good stuff Will, glad to see you're on the mend and getting back out there👍

[@willkitching]

@@flippa1976 Thanks heaps Flippa! Yes it has been a long wait that’s for sure, but glad that it’s feeling better every week. Hope you’ve been doing well mate and thanks for the support as always! You’re a legend 😁🎣

Cracking session fellas. Snapper is one of those elusive fish for me. Some great tips. 🙌

[@willkitching]

Thanks heaps mate! It’s funny, they can definitely be tricky at times and I think the biggest issue people have is actually finding them. But once you get the hang of it and get some confidence in the float lining technique, they are a simple fish to catch. In summer go for a troll along the 24’s or 36’s and watch your sounder, mark any lumps with heaps of bait or fish on them! Good to see you’ve been getting out and nailing some awesome fish lately anyway 😁🎣

The old man was on fire early Will. Great vid mate

[@willkitching]

Yep, as per usual! I caught up to him at the end though 😉🤣 thanks for the support mate 🙌🎣

[@cryptodumus4577]

[@willkitching]

Thanks heaps mate we appreciate it! Yeah I love spending time with Dad on the water, it makes fishing a hundred times better 🎣 tight lines!

[@scale2tail]

Fantastic mate. Plenty of snapper your way. Most probably plenty our way as well. Hahah, pan size always tastes the best, mate. But the big ones have good size cheeks. Well done both of you. What a great day🙌🏻👌

[@willkitching]

Thanks mate!! Yes we are pretty lucky up here with the species we get to target. As I keep saying, my fingers are crossed for you guys down in SA. Hopefully you can chase the snapper again soon 😩🙌 Thanks for the support mate 😁

[@scale2tail]

@@willkitching We still do have those delicious King George whiting. I guess that makes up for it a little 👌

[@willkitching]

@@scale2tail Yes mate I’m definitely jealous that our whiting don’t grow that big up here! 😁🤣

[@scale2tail]

@willkitching they put up a good fight as well mate. Strong fish. I guess that's why they are one of the best tasting 😋

[@willkitching]

@@scale2tail You’re not wrong mate! Any fish that puts up a fun fight and tastes delicious is a good option in my books 😁🎣

[@teamyak-attack1060]

You guys on light tackle again?

[@willkitching]

This session we were using 20lb braid and 20lb fluorocarbon leader mate! Seems to be a good all-round line class for offshore Snapper where we fish. We still use the 12lb soft plastic setup most sessions though!

[@donninguyen5237]

How come you wash your fillets after? In my opinion, it's better to just knock the fillets off straight away and keep them pure. Straight off the fish into a cryovac bag.

[@willkitching]

Hey mate, yes I’ve seen a lot of people just take the fillets off and put them straight into a cryovac bag to freeze. We just give them a quick rinse in the salt water to wash off any scales, slime, blood, or mess that may be on the cutting board. I guess it just comes down to personal preference, we do dry the fillets off with paper towel before we cryovac them too 👌🎣 cheers mate, tight lines!
