Snapper time in Melbourne!
The Melbourne cup has been run and won, now there's only one thing on saltwater fisho's minds....Snapper!Compared to most years, the major annual influx of snapper into the bays was delayed slightly due to the late burst of cold weather and rain we thank fully got and needed here in Melbourne which helped keep the water temperatures down, but over the last two weeks air temperatures have jumped into the 30's which has pushed the water temperature up by around six degrees and the fish have switched right on with fish averaging 3-4kg and plenty of bigger 7-10kg models about as well.As with most areas around the country that hold snapper bait fishing is the mainstay but attitudes are changing.
