[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 420219, member: 4915"] Wow, that is impressive catching those snapper from a yak. I love spotties too they are fantastic fun, I used to go out of SWR with a 24' Hartley Cruiser. Have even caught them for fun and sport on 1-2kg main line on a calcutta 50b baitcaster setup for bass fishing. Everyone thinks mackerel = bloodlines and dark meat but spotties have lovely white flesh and fillet so damn easy and freeze well. From a 9kg fish you are probably walking away with 7.5kg+ in firm white fillets. Then some awesome heads and backbones for crab traps! I got a couple of nice dam trout on the weekend, 2.6lbs brown and 3.4lbs rainbow but damn I'd trade them for a spottie, been too long. [/QUOTE]
