John managed a nice mixed bag of snapper, bream and kingfish in the hacking recently. He tried a little tip Fergo gave him a while back where he changed the hooks of the Bottom Magic and replaced them with stinger hooks. After letting it sink down and then dancing it off the bottom with small flicks he managed a nice 35cm snapper, then a bream about the same size, and just lost a kingfish. After plenty of follows by the kingfish he tried his heavier gear out and landed a solid 86cm fish.
