MONSTER BRISBANE SNAPPER
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 01. 2023
- Absolute glamour day out on Moreton Bay, which started off very tough but ended up finding a big school of BIG snapper. Once I found the school, I threw a couple different lures at what I thought might be jew but had no luck. I downsized the lure and put on a Molix 4" fork flex and it was on from there.
After boating the 2 big snapper, I left them and went for a drive to try and find some squid ( and to cool down ). Took me a while but after I thought it wasn't going to happen, I spotted a a few squid shallower than I expected. Ended up with 5 average to small squid on the YAMASHITA 3.0 size squid jig.
On the way back I ran in to a school of spotty Mackerel cruising along the surface. They were keen to follow my lures but not eat them and when I did get one to commit, it bit me off. I'd say my next video will be out chasing them again as they are so much fun and not bad on the table too!

We are so lucky in Brissy to have the bay.
So many locals overlook this wonderful. safe water bay that just keeps going.
Morton and Straddie Islands give great protection and offer a sanctuary of life. Turtles swimming by , great fishing and wonderful birdlife. We should be happy now because the bay was not always like it is today.
We overfished and polluted it to almost a lifeless state but in the last twenty years Ive seen it slowly coming back.
Its guys like this that appreciate and respect it by releasing what you do not need. Wonderful to watch and great education to the people that watch. Good show.
Cheers Peter, appreciate that!
Yeah industry pollution has an issue no doubt.
I grew up on a river in Brisbane and seen the results of a industry very close to our house and the impact it had on the fish…..
Wish I could like this video twice. 😂
Great work man. Middle of the day and just smashing 80cm+ Snaps.
Epic!
Cheers Brendan! Was a bloody good day 😍.
Great stuff, mate. Over here in NZ we like to think we have pretty good snapper fishing, but those are quality fish in anyone's books - especially so close to a big city. I'm fascinated by your technique - those quite strong upward whips off the bottom, then slow controlled drop. Not commonly done over here, but it clearly works well under the boat. Most people here use spin gear to fish softbaits, and cast well away from the boat. So that's another interesting thing from watching you fish with overhead gear. I've even imported some of your favourite Molix softies from Aussie, because we can't get them here!! And yes, powerful jaws. I had my thumb crunched by a 74cm (to the tail fork, which is how we measure here) snap while trying to get the jighead out to release the fish. Teeth ripped the flesh on both sides, blood dripping all over the photo on the measure mat, and killed the nail which took months to drop out. Ouch.
Oh wow, that’s cool you got some to NZ mate!
Yeah, most use spin gear too.
These fish we’re hugging the bottom and used to boat noise as it’s Moreton Bays most fished spot 🤣.
Oh and I have been bitten by smaller snapper and it’s not a good thing!! 🤣🤣😍
Thanks for showing the sounder readings mate. Can’t wait to get out there give it a go. My boat is currently in repair so spewing…. But!! I was out there yesterday on the kayak… heaps and heaps of snapper caught on the wakasagi 4” fork flex with 3/8 jighead… love your work mate! 👌
Awesome mate.
Hope the boat doesn’t take too long to fix.
Damn You have cracked the code.. love the respect you show.. catch and release 👌🏽.. #fishfortomorrow
Thanks Luke 🙌.
Great snap Pete, Still yet to get a decent one in the bay. Best so far is 8kg from Caloundra wide. Look forward to the next sesh.
Cheers mate. 8kg is a horse!!
Nice video mate.
Shame about the weather though looked terrible 😅
Thanks mate!
A little breeze would have been nice, so hot.
Niceee snapper mate can’t wait to get stuck into some myself this winter 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Cheers mate.
So much fun, go get em!
Got lucky on that second fish! That jighead looked quite flimsy 😅
Was luck man!!!
Another awesome vid mate! Crazy that they can bend the jig head like that, any good spots you recommend for land based fishing near Brissy?
Cheers mate!
Powerful mouth hey!
Shorncliffe pier has been fishing well according to the local shops and Sandgate.
Look up doughboy bridge cam near the brissy River, we used to fish livies there landbased off the bridge or under it. Plenty of jew, threadies and flathead. Mate got his Pb thready there at 28kg!
Another cracker vid Pete!! , it still
Amazes me when you catch a Snapper and they absolute destroy the lead and hook , jaws are so powerful!!
Cheers mate!
Yeah they have wild jaw pressure and hard teeth hey.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing would you still use the Daiwa jigheads or back to BKK
@@gregcurtisfishing3558 big snapper chew that hard doesn’t really matter the hook they’re still gonna do some damage to it I run the bkk and the heavy tt’s and they still bust them up but if I had to pick a go to it would be the bkk’s caught some donkeys on those
Awesome vid again Pete👍 I live on the Gold Coast and was wondering what is the best boat ramp in Brisbane to drive to launch boat and how do I get to Harry’s? Cheers Adrian
Cheers mate!
Harries is in the middle to southern part of the bay. Any gps will have it on there.
Heaps of different ramps you can use tbh. I like Cleveland ramp.
Great vid mate.
Which combo do you use for the snaps?
That’s an NS Blackhole Medusa Edge 6’9 8-14, Shimano Metanium 150hg, 30lb Sunline Castaway braid and 25lb system shock fc leader.
great video thanks. If you don't have the coin for the Kaden 745, is there any rod that you would recommend to pair with the abu garcia revo4 beast that won't break the bank?
Cheers mate.
Definitely the NS Amped 731xh mate. Under $200.
OMG pulling huge snapper out from underneath everyone around you. All the other boats around look like they are sleeping. You certainly know how to use your sounder and you work for your fish too I see. I haven't even worked out how to use side scan yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Cheers mate!
I have spent some time learning to interpret what I am seeing on my sounders over the years. Most times you have to work hard for the fish but I’d have it no other way tbh.
Hopefully people don’t get mad but get inspired.
Fantastic. What is that patch you are fishing looks popular. Did anyone else catch anything?
Thanks mate!
Harry Atkinson artificial reef.
Didn’t see anything else landed tbh.
Lmao while you were launching we were right in the middle of that cell out the back of Moreton, we cleaned up.
Did ya get wet mate?
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing haha yea man, went straight into the eye of it as our spot was just beyond it, wasn’t too bad, bagged out on snapper, pearlies, and caught some bonus amberjack all on plastics, was a great day. I would give up all those fish for an 80cm snapper inside the bay however, that shit is epic 👌🏽
@@Jackomac sic session mate!
Harries is the best place in the southern bay forsure.
Got a couple around peel, including my PB 90cm from the houseboat on light spin gear and 4” plastic 😍.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing yea man, some big snapper get around up there, my biggest was 78cm in the rous, but that was years ago on a livey, so for now my best on a lure is 66 fishing some very shallow stuff in the southern bay. Will have to venture up that way more often, have shyed away from it in recent times cause my back is fucked and my tinnie slaps hard in chop, hopefully that’s all behind me.
@@Jackomac gets so rough out there, so I don’t often go. Anything over 60 out of shallows is bloody good one mate 💪
Hey Pete! My boat is cactus mate. Looking for a new boat! I have noticed for a while now you go in the bay in a bass boat! How do they go out there mate? 10-15knot winds ok?
Goes ok out there. 10-15 with wind against ain’t nice in most boats tbh and I’m pretty selective when I’ll go out there. It sticks to the water, moves around with easy to stay on the fish and is a great platform to fish from.
Just found this. Great video lots of info. Any chance of telling us hook size U use with the 4 inch. Cheers again.
Cheers mate!
Glad your liked it.
It’s a 4/0.
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing IV subscribed as well thank you again.
@@barrygarlick3206 sweet
That’s insane how distorted that jig head was. I guess no jig head can hold up to a big snapper. 😂
I recon BKK Harpax has the strongest hook on the market atm. I didn’t have any 3/8 and wanted to try the Daiwa but not saying anything bad about it just shows how strong they are!
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing yeah I’d agree, but that’s without using the Daiwa jig heads myself yet. So I won’t pass judgement yet either. Be interesting to see how they hold up on a jewie though
@@BrisVegasFishing i haven’t bought any bigger ones yet. Might stick to Harpax 🤷♂️.
Awesome content Peter. The day after you caught that snapper I got my biggest snapper which was 67cm on a lure which I was so happy about. I have some molix fork flex but I can't seem to get action out of it like I've seen on your videos and others. It's there a secret to rigging this plastic? I'm rigging it straight and it's driving me nuts 😂
That’s awesome mate!!
What weight and type of jighead mate?
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing bkk 3/4 5,0 and 6,0
Also tried TT HD 3/8 4,0 as that's wat tackle warehouse suggested
Both on the 5inch
@@raelenehansen9305 humm, might just need some time tuning with the rigging?
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing I've spent all day yesterday rigging and testing it and still nothing. Practice makes perfect, I'll keep on going. Thank you for your help. I hope one day I can catch A big jew like u
@@raelenehansen9305 the sharks are really bad around Jew at the moment but still plenty around 😁.
Mate what boat is that? looks like an absolute weapon for Moreton and the estuaries around there.
Cheers mate, it’s an old attack bass boat made on the Gold Coast back in the day.
I seen you guys out here on the 19th of JANUARY. We drifted too far from the reef you fished when you landed that big Jewy (it looking like one from where I was)
Found your channel today thanks to Charlton’s Redbank.
Ripper vids m8💪🏽 cya out there
Cheers mate!!
Where do you get your squid mate love the videos
Cheers mate. Rous channel mate
Are you at Cleveland?
Let from that ramp, yes mate.
What can't you catch Pete!
Your too kind mate 😘.
I get lucky often….
How far in front are the snapper from the structure?
Probably 10-20m mate
@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing Cheers Peter.
Where is this?
Moreton bay mate
