What type of Bait is best for Red Snapper Fishing ?
fresh whiting is my fav. Others fishos choose a slimy mackerel and bait them up. Yellow tail and herring are also great option only a small cast is required to get into the snapper zone.
From the boat , the best snapper fishing is in Cockburn Sound. Australian snapper normally school up on the edge boundaries through to Cockburn Sound waiting until the water temperature drops to the magic degrees and is suitable for spawning.

This season they are already a huge hit in Port Phillip Bay, Western Port, Lakes Entrance and Gippsland in Victoria. South Australia’s St Vincent Gulf and Metro Adelaide, Shark Bay in Western Australia, Sydney Coast line and Tweed Heads New South Wales and Brisbane Coast line, the list goes on and on. If you’re fishing for reds with your maximum rods, it’s worth making sure at least some of them are rigged with a Snapper Snatcher for a bit of variety. No matter whether you’re fishing from the shore or a boat, it is best to jazz up your Snapper Snatcher hooks with a small piece of bait. A strip of pilchard is ideal, especially in the surf. Pass the hook through the squid strip just once, towards one end of the strip, just as you would for normal circle hooks. Small fish fillets or pieces of cut up baitfish can also be used with Snapper Snatchers. When baiting up, it is essential to ensure the gape of the hook is not obscured with too much bait and the hook point is well clear of the bait. Once you have your Snapper Snatcher rigged, baited and in the water, do nothing! The circle hooks, are designed to hook the fish in the corner of the mouth as it takes the bait and moves away. Striking at bites will only pull the hooks from the red’s mouth, so it is imperative not to strike. If holding the rod while surf fishing, don’t start fighting the fish until you’re sure the fish is well hooked. If boat fishing, put the rod in a rod holder, low to the water, then sit back and wait for the fish to hook themselves. Don’t even touch the rod until there is a strong, sustained bend in the rod and/or line is pouring from the reel. It’s a hard habit to break, but it’s important. A great way to fish for snapper with Reedys rig’s is directly to the bottom, beneath the boat. Presumably the rocking of the boat gives the rigs some up and down action, which attracts the fish. It doesn’t matter whether you use your Snapper Snatchers in conjunction with a braid or mono mainline. You will get excellent hook up rates with both.
