Piss'n'Broke Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Well done on the sambo rob! What setup did you get him on? One of your lighter combo's me is a thinking,,, As for the frigates, that would have been a tease,,,, I know you have a fetish for them Dan (D &G) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen801 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hey Kingsrule, Nice salmon! Do you eat the salmon? I use em for bait and feeding my kids cats. I skin, bone and cube the meat. When i come home from fishing the cats are straight onto me for a feed. I caught a jewie off the beach a couple of months ago on a salmon strip. Jewie went 8kg.

Do you eat the salmon? I normally release all the salmon i get (7 sofar) , unless my mate wants one. Might keep my next one for jewie bait (i wish!) The sambo's fight great on light gear. I forgot to add i caught him on a unweighted pilchard piece aimed at a kingy that was milling around the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers salmons are really good if you know how to cook them. curry is good but my best is a mauritian/indian style vindaloo cooked with mustard seed, tumeric, garlic and onions cheers bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrasseman Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hey, nice salmon. Thats my old stomping ground, spent many a day flicking lures off the rocks between the island and the baths, off the drain at the island (deep channel in front but you have to steer hooked fish around a big rock, off the beach (watch out for swimmers) and wharf. The rocks in front of the drain between the island and the wharf were the standout spot though especially if you're willing to get wet getting out to the furthest ones. Decent bream can sometimes be found schooled up on top of these flat rocks in the shallows at high tide, I've seen them snorkelling but never got the hooks into em. Also pulled lure eating bream from the reefy corner at the island and there's a big rocky dropoff about halfway between the island drain and the beach which you can wade to at low tide if you pick your path carefully, another good spot. Those frigates certainly are frustrating, but fun when you hook em. They also like to cruise around at mosman bay on the other side where they push bait against the wall and then fly through at a million miles an hour, hard to get a lure in front of but if you can get one in front of them and heading in the same direction but faster than they're swimming, youve got a real good chance. A sitting fly (whitebait pattern) was another option that I found drew strikes too and I'm sure SPs would work but the problem is the fish then take off and almost have to take you through the marina as its their only way out so landing them on light gear is a problem. col.
