The best snapper season ever?

As a precursor to snapper season some people like to look at weather patterns, some look for the blooming of the ti-tree, some look at water temperature and some even get out on the bay with a depth sounder and motor around for 5 hours at walking pace to sound up some schools of the red fish. My best indicator came yesterday when I arrived home from work to find this:



My wife had gotten sick of the "feral dog dropping his hair everywhere" so took to him with a brush outside. In the image you can clearly see massive clumps of hair all over the yard. Although this has only begun to scratch the surface of his moult, it is definitely an indicator that it's warming up and Big Red is just around the corner!
