Come on give me a hand to catch the $1500 snapper on Sunday.
What baits do you like best for E BOP beaches like Hawai? I am thinking crayfish, prawns and anchovies should do it. Any other ideas?

The snapper don't know where the car park is!

Octi (small piece) or a prawn/baby squid cocktail. Wrap the prawn with the body of the squid split the squid body into two pieces body long ways, the squid head becomes a separate body.
Fresh mullet if you can get it. Using all these today a little further east.

14 snaps today for Team century from a beach further east than where you will be tomorrow, so the mullet and prawn squid combos work! Octi stayed in the chilli bin!

Came in 2nd with a 1.7kg snapper, Caught a smaller one too. The bait thing was interesting as two of us caught all the snapper on the day and we were both using crayfish for bait.
Shows that you need variety in your bait selection on any day as they might only like one thing. Kahawai were less selective and caught on a number of baits. Best fish of the day was a moki over three kilos caught by a woman fishing down by the rocks. Sea wa flat and a little dirty.

Its a nice beach with a little variation along its length. The ends fished best during the comp and the middle for gurnard the next day.
