Catching Snapper evening with Tod Fisher

Snapper (Pagrus Auratusa) is a fish found in the coastal waters of Australia and are considered a highly prized table fish. Snapper take a variety of different baits and lures ranging from soft plastics to jigs.

On a boat, flicking soft plastics has become highly popular, however you can still live bait and also use dead baits. Snapper eat a wide range of baits. Striped tuna, squid, bonito, and pilchards are just some of the options you could use to catch these creatures. They are not fussy eaters at all.

The best time of day to chase snapper is always a hotly debated topic, but the change of light periods of dawn & dusk will always be prime snapper fishing periods.

Snapper are commonly found in the depths of between 15 to 25 metres in larger bays, however, they can be found anywhere from 5 to 120 metres.
