After noticing something definitely doesn't look right, a Snapper driver is the first to stop at a crash on a rural road somewhere in the Lonestar State.

Mobile snapper at Piccadilly Circus 4th Feb 2012 just as the snow started to arrive.

 

I don't know what this chap was trying to capture on his mobile phone photographic device, but I believe that my 30s exposure caputured the more interesting image.

We found this snapping turtle crawling through a grassy ditch towards Palmer Boulevard, away from the Celery Fields wetlands. It may have been a female seeking a nest site. It had a rather placid disposition, but then again, we were not harassing it or approaching too closely. A few minutes later we realized that a county employee on a tractor was mowing the grass between the sidewalk and road pavement. Presumably he saw the turtle and mowed around it because after we completed the 3-4-mile loop and were walking back to our car, the turtle was no where to be seen. We had seen a large dead turtle on the banks of drainage canal, but we'd like to think this individual survived for another day (but I can't help but think of the turtle-and-highway scene in "Grapes of Wrath.")

Walk With Your Dreams. 3/4

 

Some lovely new benches have appeared in Station Square and were soon being christened!

mmm..very nice ! Is there any bread ?. No sir. Oh dear, is this all there is. Can you believe I had to order chips to fill up on. A bit of an insult to this culinary work of art, but a drunk guy's gotta eat.

A small snapping turtle was hanging about at the boardwalk where people throw food to the fishes. This is territory of a big snapping turtle who wasn't visible when the small one turned up. The small turtle was about 10 inches across it's shell, the big one about 18 inches across.

 

The small turtle was happily chasing after a piece of bread when he ventured too close the the big turtle. The big turtle attacked him, grabbing him with his front legs and biting him at what appeared to be the base of his neck on his underside.

 

In the picture above (the best I could get through the murky waters) the bright spot to the left is the little turtle's mouth, tongue out in apparent agony. The small turtle is on his side/upside down at the bottom of the image, with the big turtle's leg over the top of him. The big turtle's face is buried in the small turtle's belly/neck.

 

They stayed like this for about a minute, then the big turtle let go, the small one took off and there was a chase.

 

Don't know if the little one made it or not. Hope so.

This is the Common Snapper

The Common Snapper has smooth Carapace. They have survived over 40 million years. They can weigh as much as 100 lbs but in the wild more like 22 lbs. Temperature determines the sex of the egg. They need to be incubated in the 80 degree range. Cooler Temperatures result in more male snappers. Global Warming even by a few degrees would drastically affect a generation of turtles.

They lay their eggs on land usually far away from water. The female can hold sperm for several seasons using it as necessary. she will lay 25-80 eggs. Incubation is 9-18 weeks. In cool climates the Hatchlings winter in the nest.

The Common Snapper is cold tolerant they may not hibernate and can remain active under the ice in winter.

Once matured they do not have many predators. They eat plant and animal matter and use their "snap" like jaws to kill their prey. Their other defenses is a hissing sound, their claws and the ability to move/stretch their neck as far back as their Carapace. When stressed they also release a musky odor from behind their legs. Due to their massive size they are unable to retreat into their own shell.

 

The yellowtail snapper, Ocyurus chrysurus, is an abundant species of snapper found along the North American coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Although they have been found as far north as Massachusetts, their normal range is along Florida down through the West Indies and Brazil.

 

In certain reefs, most notably in the Florida Keys, this beautifully colored fish is commonly spotted among divers and snorkelers. The yellow tailed snapper is also a popular and abundant game fish that makes excellent table fare. Yellowtail feed on shrimp, crabs, worms and smaller fish. They spawn in groups off the edge of reefs from spring to fall, but heavily in midsummer.

 

Yellowtail snapper are typically caught in 30-120 feet of water on and around reefs and other structure. The most common method of catching yellowtail snapper is with hook and line; and the use of frozen chum to attract the fish. The chum used to attract yellowtail is typically a five pound block of leftover fish parts that is ground and then frozen in to blocks. The chum is placed in to a mesh bag or metal basket that is then placed in to the water, and as the chum slowly melts, small pieces of fish will drift out and down towards the bottom, where the yellowtail typically feed. The chum attracts the fish, and keeps them near the boat for extended periods of time as well.

 

Light tackle is the generally accepted means of catching yellowtail snapper. Typically, the fish are relatively wary of higher-test or thicker line, and larger hooks. Most fish caught by anglers range from eight inches to thirteen or fourteen inches, although catches to sixteen inches are not uncommon. Catches larger than seventeen inches are uncommon, and catches over twenty inches are generally considered rare. Yellowtail snapper can be caught on a variety of bait, including both live and frozen shrimp, squid, and a variety of live and frozen minnows or smaller baitfish. Yellowtail snapper can be caught on artificial baits and lures, but live or frozen bait is generally preferred. Yellowtail tend to be wary fish, and the appearance of larger fish, such as dolphins or sharks can scare off schools of yellowtail snapper until the offender leaves the area.

 

Most anglers pursue yellowtail snapper during the warmer months, but they can be caught throughout the year. Yellowtail must be 12" in overall length to be harvested in most areas, and bag limits apply in most regions. Yellowtail snapper is highly prized for its light, flaky meat and is considered by some to be one of, if not the best of the snapper family.

Snapper Snatchers and fishing rigs best for big reds port phillip bay

 

Snapper Snatchers pre-tied fishing rigs by snapper fishing tackle but they are more than a standard paternoster fishing rig . They come in a range of sizes and colors, and they all combine two circle-style hooks on tough 60lb trace in a paternoster rig. A flasher fly attached to the circle hooks. There is also a luminous bead above each hook, the glow of which can lure the fish in , like a luminous fly lure . Even though it is recommended that Snapper Snatchers be used in with bait, with the fly like lure of hooks .will insure your fishing 100 percent of the time.

 

Reedy’s rigs can be used for surf fishing. One of the best uses for this paternoster rig is in surf or off the stones . Tie the swivel at one end of the Snapper Snatcher to your main fishing line, and attach a sinker . Boom! You’re ready to fish! the flasher acts like a lure in the surf in the same regards as a surf poper they are simple dynamite when fishing for salmon ,talior and mulloway from the surf .

  

snapper rigs by Reedy’s rigs are readily available from most tackle shops or buy them direct from here If you’re looking to add some versatility and variety to your fishing arsenal, check them out. I’m confident they’ll help you catch more fish.

 

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.

  

When fishing for Salmon in the surf or Snapper in the bays, Snapper Snatchers with Circle 5/0 hooks are a good choice. If you are specifically targeting Gummy sharks or Mulloway, go up to 7/0 hooks.

 

The sport circle hook, are designed to hook the fish in the corner of the jaw. Striking at bites will only pull the hooks from the

snapper's mouth, so dont not strike. Don’t even touch the rod until there is a bend in it ,

and line is pouring from the fishing reel. It’s a hard habit to break, but it’s important. A great way to fish for red snapper with Reedys rig’s is

directly on the bottom ...
