Date: 13-07-2023. Rod: Penn Slammer 9ft. Reel: ES12000. Rig: Long snood bottom live bait. Bait: Fresh baby cuttle fish and Live kunning.
Tide had already turn down and the current is picking up fast. I manage to scoop up a baby cuttle fish and quickly use it as bait then cast it out. First check on the bait after 20 minute later was still fully intact. I cast it out again. Within a minute, i saw my rod tip bend down and the reel alarm screech. I pickup and strike..Yes fish on…slowly wind back and a good palm size fingermark snapper appear on the water surface. I used the rod to haul it up.
Around in the early morning after my last cast, when i was cutting the fish, my reel screech again. My friend pickup the rod and strike. I quickly wash my hand and take over. I can feel the fish struggling at the end of the line. Slowly wind back and a lizard shark appear. It took my live kunning bait and was hook on the lip. Unhook, took a photo and released it back.
