Fun with Aussie Salmon

[Mousse]

I hit the rocks on Thursday with two rigs, one to fish in close for pigs and bream, and a second to cast out further for Salmon or Tailor.

I had absolutely no luck this week with the pigs, which is unusual as the conditions seemed good and the spot is usually pretty reliable.

I managed to land a decent Salmon, which are great fun of the rocks and tend to come in good numbers when it's this cold. I was just using 3 ganged 5/0 Mustads with a whole pillie under a float.

The drummer were nowhere to be seen...bread burley, Cunje or prawns didnt do the trick. No bream either, just annoying bait stealing Kelpies! A couple of small leather jackets too.

At least the salmon showed up for a while!

Salmon are a great sport fish on light gear

Thanks mate. Always fun, especially if they start jumping out of the water!

Yeh

But frustrating when you see your hook or lure fly out of its mouth

Pardon the ignorance of a boy from the south, but what sort of fish are pigs?

Not a bad Salmon mate. They fight well don't they? I would argue that size for size they might not pull quite as hard as a king but I reckon they fight for longer with more energy.

There are massive schools around at the moment and they will be hanging around for a while. Some of them are HUGE. I got onto a few on Friday that were legal size for kingy's. Gee they pull hard at that size on light gear.

A few even reefed me!
