BIG CATCH: Bethany Fisher, 7, doing her bit to remove the carp from Lake Burrumbeet.
WE will have a bumper snapper season because we have an old-fashioned spring in sight.
Rain has been falling right through the winter and, even though we are not into spring yet, the apricot trees have flowered.
Most snapper have not left the bays and both bays are really good so check your gear.
Some have tried Point Lonsdale but there is work going on there on the pier so look elsewhere.
