James P Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Good morning all! Up at 4 15 yesterday morning and on the water at 4 45 in roseville. Put the lure out for the first 4 knot run and picked up a nice tailor. The wind was up so we were hoping it wouldnt be too bad out in the heads. When we got there the wind was still gusty so we decided to go around to bluefish point. On the way we noticed a school of salmon working quite close to the rocks so as my mate sped over i attempted to get the stick baits on. When we got there it had thinned out and my friends line tangled and couldnt cast. I had put the lure on the 8kg line unfortunately and cast it out and straight away bang a big salmon jumped and gulped my stickbait. after a nice aerial fight wit hsome great jumps i finally got it to the boat to make 13 landed in two weeks ( mainly released) and a lot lost. It is interesting trying different line wieghts on the salmon but it is far far better on the 2 to 4kg line rather than 8. Then we went to bluefish and i caught a nice little pike on the metal slug. Put him on as live bait in the hope of a kingie but not even a bit of mvement. On the prawns and pilchards we picked up some small annoying reefies and then a nice snapper measuring 40cm. Then we went to the yellow marker and the wind was gone and we got some nice trevallys up to 45cm. The two boats around us both pulled in a nice bream at the same time. On the way back i decided to put the new lure out that had caught the tailor and pike and then this guy on his huge boat chatting merryly on his mobile almost hit us after he veered over towards us and then run over the line and snapped it . So all in all a fun day with a nice little feed. It seems like the salmon schools are becoming less common but it seems the tailor are back in the numbers in the early morning and at night. All the salmon are caught on fluerescent green and white stick baits. Have a great weekend everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
