gretsch Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Gidday Viewers, Short report. Took the down to to Fairlight for some Fish and Chips for Mother's Day. Was flicking my pink Yo Zuri around and all of a sudden WHACK and the Stella 1000 screams into action. Long story short, 60cm Salmon is landed. A first for me. I didn't have my camera so no pics. The wife can validate the story. Cheers Ceph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGibbo Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 CONGRATULATIONS - was that on a plastic? Bet that made your Mother's Day - must have been by using a PINK yo zuri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerly Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Was that a salmon on the squid jig? Well done, I have hooked a few flathead on the Yo Zuri under the lights but so far they have thown the jig pretty quickly after hook up. Southerly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labrador Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 If that was on the squid jig I will believe you, 'coz I caught a nice flathead on my blackfish rig on cabbage. Great catch mate. Scout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretsch Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes to all.. was a pink Yo Zuri squid jig size 2.0. The Salmon really inhaled it... As I lifted him up onto the rock ledge I was casting from, the jig just popped out. Lucky eh... The jig eating Sambo was returned to mix up his lures for another angler. If they were good to eat, he would have been coming home with me. Cheers C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a pic in a fishing mag of a flattie that inhaled a squid jig - I guess there's not much difference between a prey item of a squid and that of a salmon or flattie or other fish! Nice catch!

Flattieman. If a kingy an flathead will eat a squid jigg as we have witnessed I see no reason why a sambo wouldnt give a jigg a crack. Well done anyhow so how ru going to beat it? Maybe a bigger sambo on a squid jigg or perhaps squid on a jigg? D & G Edited May 14, 2007 by Dan and Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretsch Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I reckon a Blackfish on a popper would be a challenge !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbielites Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I can't believe you got away with taking a rod to mothers day lunch! You deserve the fish robbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretsch Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I must say, I am skilled when it comes to incorporating fishing with the genral family events.. must be in my genes as my Uncle once had a quick flick in a stream on the way to a wedding. He sat through the ceremony knowing he had a 7lb Rainbow Trout in the boot of his car. What a champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
