How I Catch Australian Snapper.

It’s important to note that there isn’t a single definitive method for catching snapper.

However, there are numerous techniques and approaches that can be employed to increase your chances of success. In this article,

While it’s true that an amateur may believe there is only one clear-cut way to catch a fish, it’s important to remember that fishing is a complex and nuanced activity. Experienced anglers know that there are many variables to consider when attempting to catch a specific type of fish, such as water temperature, weather conditions, time of day, and the specific habits and behaviors of the fish in question. It’s always a good idea to keep an open mind and be willing to try new techniques in order to improve your chances of success.

Consider Port Phillip Bay, for example. Many people believe that when fishing charters stop targeting snapper, the snapper season is over.

However, this is not necessarily true. First and foremost, I want to express my utmost respect for charter operators. They deal with a diverse range of clients and are often expected to deliver successful fishing trips every time, which can be a challenging task. However, that is simply the nature of the job.

The reality is that charter operators strive for success, and catching bags of 20 to 30 snapper becomes increasingly difficult. As a result, they often move on to other species that may be easier to catch at that time.

As a recreational fisherman, we don’t necessarily need to catch a large quantity of fish to consider our day successful. In Port Phillip Bay, it’s possible to catch a few fish almost any month of the year. While catching snapper in July may be more challenging, it’s not impossible.

Snapper can be found in the waters Around Australia when the temperature ranges from 14 to 19 degrees Celsius, Although it is possible to catch snapper in both lower and higher temperatures, it is not impossible. During summer, if the water temperature is high, you may want to consider looking deeper where the water is cooler at the bottom, and vice versa in the cooler months in your state.

To catch snapper in your state, the key factor to consider is the optimal time to search for them. For instance, in Queensland, it’s advisable to search for snapper during winter when the water temperature drops, while in Victoria and South Australia, it’s ideal to do so in spring and autumn.

It is difficult to provide a written guide on how to catch snapper as there are numerous variables to consider, given my extensive experience of fishing for snapper all year round. However, for beginners, I would recommend having the appropriate tackle, bait, or lures that suit your preference. To learn more about snapper fishing, I suggest watching and learning from Reedy’s Rigs YouTube channel, which offers valuable insights and tips.
