Cowan creek salmon

[brettmann86]

G'day raiders.

Headed out today with the hopes of a fresh bag of flathead for my troubles. When we arrived at the ramp I was surprised because it was empty no one there at all. winning!!

Headed out to meet another member of my fishing club who was launching from patonga and to have a quick drift armed with squid and fresh slimy fillets not a thing not a touch nothing!! Changed spots over to flint and steel and my mate on his boat hooked a nice salmon after a couple of really fast drifts but for me still nothing! By this point the wind was really howling so decided to duck into Cowan creek to try to find some fish, we anchor up at our spot and between me and my wife we have 4 rods out total just as I was getting comfy reading the paper BANG!! All 4 Rods go off at once ! Total mayhem! we grab the 2 lightest Ross first to get them up and boat the fish and the first 2 salmon hit the deck 57 and 53cm not bad but wait we've still got 2 more Rods with fish attached that have had precious seconds to tangle themselves up an sure enough my fish had wrapped the anchor rope while my wife's had done a runner under the boat and was porpoising on the surface a distance away knowing I had 30lb leader I just pulled the anchor up and boated my fish that way which went 53cm as well while my wife was in all sorts of trouble sorting hers out but after some fanciful rod and boat work from the pair of us she eventually boated her salmon which eclipsed mine at a healthy 64cm was a new PB for her and by that we decided to pull the pin and head home for some well deserved Thai style fish cakes yum yum

Tight lines guys Brett

Hi Brett,

Sounds like a great session. I had one like that with my Missus in broken bay where we couldn't go wrong - we chased a shoal of sambos the size of a football pitch and got double hook ups every time we got there. I would quite happily play them on 2kg all day - what a great sport fish.
