fragmeister Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hi Raiders , Fished Sydney harbour today pretty much all over the place. Beautiful 26 degree day with scarcely a breeze but unfortunately scarcely a fish either. Got some action when a school of salmon appeared close to my boat off north head. Good fish of around 2 kilo ( no pics sorry) but I didn't want to up anchor and follow them. Its very cool to see three or four of them competing for the lure in the clear harbour water. Caught a few keeper bream but kept only one. .. motored over to clifton gardens where I fried him up on my portable gas stove in a mixture of garlic, chilli, ginger, palm sugar , lime and coriander I prepared earlier …lol Sat back and took in the view of the harbour while I ate the fish and sipped a cold (ginger) beer…. magic! Some days its more about enjoying the harbour than catching the fish. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witha Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Mate if the slow days were all as good as the one you've described I wouldn't mind about a lack of fish! That sounds absolutely tops glad you had a good one! Cheers Witha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fragmeister Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Great feed mate and don't you love the salmon!!! Cheers scratchie_junior One of my favourite fish. Aggressive, hard fighting ... a lot of fun. They say when the first fleet arrived they would turn the rivers black they were so numerous... imagine that. In later years they were so overfished that they became rare north of Eden. Because the commercial canning industry collapsed they eventually bounced back. ... another lesson in the problems commercial fishing causes.
