go-fish Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Went out yesterday on the hawkesbury. Launched at Brooklyn and drifted from Dangar Island almost to Juno Pt. Caught a great snag near juno on a ganged hook so we tied the 25lb line to the boat and used it as an anchor for a couple hours. It twanged a bit in the chop but held nicely. Fished with frozen hawkesbury prawns and servo pillies. Caught a lot of flathead (about 8) but all were around 30 to 33 cms so they went back. Caught a lot of undersize whiting, flounder and snapper etc, all went back. Also caught this nice 57cm Salmon on a prawn using 6 lb line and 12 lb leader. He went for 3 really good runs plus a few shorter ones and took over 5 minutes to get to the boat. It was great fun on the light gear.

go-fish Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 I ate the Sambo last night - its the first time I've tried Aussie salmon. It was actually quite nice, but a little too strong in the "fishy" flavour for me. My wife liked it. There was none left for the cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
