👤 Sophie T.hey friends, so we hit the water this morning, got out around sunrise (7:37am). the weather was kinda gloomy with patchy rain but was still good fishing vibes. we started with some light rain, temp was about 11°C, which was chilly but bearable. managed to get 4 snapper around 2-4lbs using a glow in the dark soft plastic, they were biting pretty well near the rocks. had to battle some decent winds, gusts hit 24.8 km/h at one point, made it tricky to keep the boat steady but we made it work. perfect day to be on the water even with the drizzle! can't wait to go back soon!
