I love your honesty mate, and congrats to izzy.... go hard bro go hard... i use to be as hardcore but life has gotten in the way. maybe this year ill start getting out again?

[@ReedysRigs]

All the best 👍 with the season

[@KillerCol]

Great vid guys Really appreciate the points for beginners. As you know most of us can only go fishing when our lifestyle suits so all these little tips help a lot.

[@ReedysRigs]

Glad it helps 😌🙏 appreciate the feedback

@@ReedysRigs cheers mate I have been out off western port twice and PPB once this month and donuts for September 😫😟

[@ReedysRigs]

You will find them

[@dragginmedown]

Geelong waterfront goes alright too. From Avalon to g town

[@steveferrie6396]

Great show ,what is your snapper bag limits per person / boat in Victoria.

[@ReedysRigs]

3 per person over 40cm & 7 between 28cm to 39cm

[@Luke-dg5xc]

Good info brett one of your better videos for sure

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Reedy- have you ever done much soft plastics fishing on the shallow reefs? Great way to get em

[@ReedysRigs]

done plenty when i was younger .. bait is supreme ..

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Yeah bait gets em, but hooking large snapper on shallow reefs as fun as it gets.

[@ReedysRigs]

@@Michael_Lane_Fishing not interested In risking losing large snapper .. been there done it.. jigs ,hard bodies , etc big fish are to rare.. each to there own tho..

[@fishoihatecarp8207]

Do you bother fishing a spot eg. Carrum outer artificial if you don’t see a mark could you answer this question for early and mid season

[@ReedysRigs]

early season , yes ... i dont worry about sounding marks did you not watch the video ?

[@fishoihatecarp8207]

@@ReedysRigs watched the video should of worded the question better like if u fish a reef for 2 hours with no luck and no sounds should you move

[@ReedysRigs]

​@fishoihatecarp8207 its hard early .. I can suggest go with what you are feeling at that time.. anywhere in 7-11m in September your a chance , I feel the further north the more chance you are .. all the fish head north early ..

[@fishoihatecarp8207]

@@ReedysRigs thanks just picked up one of your jumpers they are mad good for the price

[@ReedysRigs]

@@fishoihatecarp8207 thanks best of luck :)

[@seawayjoe]

I give up after spunch haha

[@moleyfishing8688]

Do you ever troll for snapper?

[@ReedysRigs]
