screech Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 went early morning with a mate at botany bay at yarra bay looking for fresh squid to use for the hunt for kings. nothing! maybe im not jigging correctly so i need advice on the squid jigs. few hours later notice birds schooling and diving around the bay. decide to take a closer look and notice LOTS of action!!! throw in my 4inch plastic minows and hook up with big taylor. threw back and WACK my line is gone for a long run...... thinking either was a big taylor or a king..... finally bring it in and was about 3kg salmon. hunt was on!! havn't caught salmon this big on the northern beaches before. chased the school around yarra bay towards bare island cast after cast getting strike after strike hooking onto salmon or taylor. kept 10 salmon but would have easily caught over 20. havn't had this much fun in a long long time!!!! watching your line get slack after a big run then bang out of the water she goes and back down! loved it!!

Hutcho1 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Nice one Dave, I also went out early this morning to chase Sambo's at the mouth of the Hawkesbury as I have done the last week. But they were gone, looks like I'll have to head south. They are a blast on light line. Regards, Hutcho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damariboyz Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) I was a couple of days to early. I was keeping an eye out for any bird activity on Monday but not a single bit of action. Never mind maybe next time great report mate and well done. Some cracker Sambo's to. I notice you would have had a full tide and Barometric around 1017.

jewgaffer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi Fishinnick you got a good few salmon together this time mate.....I replied lately to your pm and by the look of you in the pics you're a trapeze artist, a regular flying cliff gaff, and a Sydney Harbour Bridge tight rope walker style of a bloke .......No need for you to buy outriggers Nick.... I reckon you could easily swing out fifty metres and troll off a bosun's sling . Regards jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
