Mindarie Snapper/ Cant Read Sounder
Submitted by magpiejohn on Wed, 2011-04-13 20:58
Just lost all my lures due to monster Mackerals last Tuesday. Met a guy whilst cleaning my boat and he had the biggest 2 snapper
I've ever seen and 1 massive tailer. I asked Blue Water Tackle guy to help me know what to look for on sounder (gave good advice)
but I think I'm to dumb to know what to look for. 20 metres deep 5 metre hump not a bite and berlyed up with mulies and grain. Could someone help me
as what to look for on sounder and what to do. Floated down a mulie no weight, am very frustrated.

sounds like your spot wasn't
sounds like your spot wasn't a bad one mate but remember you're not going to catch snapper every time you try. Sit on the seaward edge of the 3 Mile and lightly burley with mulie and drift unweighted mulies back through the trail unweighted. Best bite is usually before sunrise and make sure you keep trying. It took me ages to catch my first snapper but they all come a lot easier after that.
And that's all the advice I'm giving a magpie supporter!

John,
For those that have no idea what you have posted (not just the screen shot of a sounder) could you please provide some descriptive of what it means. I admit I have no idea what I am looking at with that picture of your sounder.
