Inside the bay mate off mollipt

Hi all spoke to my bff late sat night and decided to hit the bay to test his new daiwa saltiga rod and my new Saragossa 8000sw the forecast was not good at all for Sunday 3m swell with over 30kph winds plus 40% showers got to the ramp around 8am and the car park was empty only half a dozen trailers not looking good at all had a quick look and the water was choppy and the wind was blowing around 20kph cant see any other boat in the water at all anyway still decided to have a look and see if we can handle the conditions plan a was to catch some livebait and try the kingy spot got to the bait spot and was surprise to see a 3m tinny with two blokes so we anchored near the other boat and started to burley got around half a dozen yakkas and half a dozen bream just around the 20cm mark that went back to grow more with 6 yakkas in the tank decided to check the kingy spot and see if it’s fishable passed mollipoint and there was not a single boat in sight got to the kingy spot and the swell is more than 2m took a while to anchor and setout two livebait Saw around a dozen surfers nearby and a lone rocks fisho with his wife and son after about half hour the anchor came off so decided to move back to safer grounds which was plan b put two yakkas on float and started to burley It didn’t take long until we got a kingy on board the boat The kingy took the chicken fillet on a 10lb trace with size 4 circle hook the kingy measured 50cm so back it went to grew more the live yakkas went off and after about 5mins we got a very fat salmon on the boat my bff finally christened his daiwa rod hoping for a hoody but the salmon fought hard and did a couple of jumps and a couple of runs which was awesome to see but no match for the rod for the next couple of hours we landed 4 salmon 5 kingys up to 60cm a dozen slimys and half dozen yakkas wind started to blow harder so decided to pack up around 3pm it was a bit rough heading back to the ramp with plenty of potholes all the way it was a good day even though the conditions were not so ideal hoping the kingys will be all legal by the end of next month thanks for reading
