Sydney Habour 30.sept.07 Salmon

[drkcld]

saw the weather today n decided to head off to spot x at the habour for a while with dazza

got to there burley bread and had absolutely no bites for 2-3 hours

after we tried burleying some pillies and using them as fillets and hooked up something strong but lost it

after a while we hooked up a flatty around 50 cm with a 4lb fireline but couldnt landed it properly >< since it was low tide and the wharf was really high

30 mins later dazza got excited about the fish n also tried the fillets, after 5 mins we suddenly heard his 10lb fireline reel went zZzZZ pulling like crazy and fought for more than 5mins thinking it was a kingy but then we saw this big fish ! it was a salmon! around 70cm we tried to land it but it kept going under the wharf and eventually broke the hook off

wasnt quite the best day but we were happy that was fought our first salmon and it was a great fight

p.s. the wind was very strong

cheers. steven

Nice little session, sometimes landing the fish is a bonus.
