    I suck at snapper fishing!

    After getting great advice from Cam and Mikee and everyone else in Nelson I have thrashed the water to foam this morning and not a bite.
    Sneeze reckons I am jinxed☺
    Still a beaut day all the same and away to Kenepuru tonight for another go at the snaps and a pig or deer.

    New boat ? Photos please ! The Sounds is a beautiful place but I wouldn't rush back , if the snappers are not on it seems there is fuck all else to catch for miles traveled .
    Looked again and realise you in Nelson bay , how deep ?

    We are in the bay just off Nelson.
    Yup new McLay 5.2 Munsey. No pics as yet.
    Happy with boat. Goes well and quiet with a 4 stroke. Almost to big for me.

    Thanks mate we are heading to the sounds now.
    Should have some luck with the deer.
    I can usually find them things and I don't have to coax them onto a hook until they are already dead😆

    Bring it up to Raglan Dave. I wont bore you with all the details but we were literally catching snapper up to 20lbs without bait last weekend. (disclosure- flasher rigs) Limit in 45 mins.

    Took longer to drive out to 55mtrs than it did to catch them all
