KayakPat Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 haven't landed a fish since new years day been out 5 or so times... so I took some burly (less common for me) and tried the stones again. given my run of quiet mornings I didn't get up early and got stuff done around the house. I got to the rocks at 12:30 and started flicking my metal, about 30min in and I'm on to a big fat lazy salmon that got 3/4 the way to the rocks before its first jump where it spat the trebles straight back at me... had to use some of my matrix skills to save my pretty face. I had a few more follows and decided to change to my metals with single hooks (just set these up so didn't know how it would go). I then started to focus on the wash zone and got a good strike but it wasn't pulling hard and I felt a gentle thud, thud through my line so thought i may have fouled something. Turned out to be a nice little bonnie. I kept at it in the was and pulled a good sized salmon out. Next cast the whole school followed the few that broke off to chase my lure i recon there were 40 big fish visible from the rock. Obviously my lure went straight back out and I got another sambo who this time was followed to the rocks by 3 kings, they were attacking the lure in the salmons mouth... zzz. Got a few more salmon and called it a day. Filled the freezer with fish for burly and had the bonnie with some thai food last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KayakPat Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) middle of the day no one early morning and avo a few more, you can see the edge form the church so if your not keen on fishing with lots of people just check it out from your car thats what i do.

Novicefisherman Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Great catches for the middle of the day too. I usually discount fishing during the middle of the day but i might have to change my thinking of just fishing the low light periods. I suppose with all this warm water we currently have any time is worth a shot at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayakPat Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 my best recent bags have been middle of the day to early afternoon. Bonnies, kings, and salmon. Big schools all coming in to visual range around 2pm. Fished plenty of early mornings recently with zip to show, plus it's a lot nicer when you're the only bloke on the rocks in the middle of the day... But yeah I hear mornings are amazing, keep going for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
