How to Catch September Snapper In Port Phillip Bay

Over the Year’s of fishing port Phillip bay for snapper. I have worked out how to catch snapper in September. But it’s not easy!

The first run on snapper into the bay will be the big reds and generally happens just out from the full moon!! This year the full moon is on the 15th. It’s different every year ! What’s important is wind leading up to the moon so you can make a good guess to wear to target those reds coming in, as a general rule they head north!..  I live in Mt Eliza so i try to intercept them swimming up the bay !! 99 percent of the time I fish mud rather than reef on this moon because the fish are in transit.

I normally Set a trap in the middle of the bay with a burly pot on the bottom. And do some waiting like in the video below.
