PAUL'S FISHING

Paul and Jet Worsteling and a friend headed out from Mount Martha in search of snapper on Sunday morning. They sounded plenty of fish but couldn’t get them to take a bait. While on the snapper grounds they kept coming across massive amounts of garfish so they set up some light gear and caught some beautiful garfish for a feed and bait restock using pilchard fillets and maggots for bait.
