Great video, snapper in PPB. Can you please tell me what kind of setup do u use? and how to rig them and retrieve them?

@beall101 - This is an answer I gave today to a question on another vid - I'm only using 2-4 kg graphite rods with 1500 size reels loaded with 6lb braid and 8-10lb flurocarbon leader. I usually use 1/8oz jighead and size 2 hook in 3-8 metres of water. First bit of advice is to make sure the plastic is on straight so that it doesn't spin on its way down, and make sure you get the plastic on the bottom before a pause and then two quick rips up.

@171rhino Thanks for the tips, but from this video your using baits right? I just wants to know what kind of bait and rig do you use to catch those fantastic snappers? do you use a sinker as well to get the bait down the bottom?

I friend of my caught a 75cm snapper on the weekend while he was with me on a kayak while trolling using a hard body. I think will have a couple of rods out and rigged 2 rods with soft plastics and the other with baits.

@beall101 - Oops yeah you're right, wrong vid LOL. The rods are generally 4-7kg with 3000 and 4000 size reels, 15lb braid to a swivel and about one metre of 40lb flurocarbon leader. I run the smallest sinker possible between the swivel and a single 4/0 or 5/0 circle hook with a fluro green and also a red bead.. Pillies in this vid but I prefer fresh squid in rings, strips and the heads. KGW heads have caught some bigger fish. Nice fish of your mates. Was that PPB?

I love your vids Rhino. Keep them comming. only new to Mel. Looking for some spots and your vids give a pretty good location. 1 question (I'm a woos) are you afraid outthere in such a small craft.......my sphinkter gets tight just watching how close you are to the water. (too many Jaws movies) - anyway will keep looking for your vids - thanks again

@171rhino oh ok :)

[171rhino]

@Plumpkinman812 - not a single one - I don't fish for them.

[Plumpkinman812]

@171rhino oh ok :) thanx. got any tip for bream on lures??

[171rhino]

@Plumpkinman812 - Not a pro mate, just lots of time on the water. With bait fishing try to use a little weight as possible and also the freshest bait. Also, as I think I say in this vid, always burley first before baits. I set a timer for 10-15 mins to check the rods and set fresh baits. Works for me.
