Snapper

The snapper seem to be in better numbers out deeper from 30 to 50 meters in the last 2 weeks with the northern end of Motiti producing good numbers of large snapper up to 6kg. The fish are lighter in colour suggesting they are big schooling fish predominantly feeding off the sand unlike the darker kelpies. The fishing in close has been good at night time getting some big fish straylining into the rocks after a good berley up, also had a unexpected visit from a baby hammerhead. During the day in close has been not so productive with the odd good fish but mainly small snapper.
