Bryson Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Got out yesterday evening to try catch a feed off the beach. plan was to try catch some yellowtail from Kiama harbour and take them to Bombo beach instead of paying for pillies from the servo as usual. After a hour or so with no yellowtail in the bucket a trip to the servo it was and a pack of pillies, oh well at least I tried. long story short I got to the beach by 4pm and had caught 8 salmon and a decent bream by 6. So much fun. Bled one salmon out and it's filleted in the fridge ready for dinner tonight. Thought I'd give it a go and make my own mind up on wether it's nice or not. i Forgot my brag mat but managed to take a couple of photos with the salmon. 🤙🏼 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Update: genuinely enjoyed the taste of the salmon, cooked a piece in butter to try it out and was really nice. The rest has just gone into a spicy pasta for work this week. Happy days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly with some other species as well. Talking about having to buy bait what about using metal lures like Halco twisties or similar? They are cheap as chips & they work well to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Sounds like a great session Bryson and Kingie chaser is right, give metal lures a try. Even if its for walking the beach to find the fish, then fish bait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlvbw Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Nice work. We shallow fry fresh Aussie salmons as tempters or do it kiwi-style in the smoker. Tastes great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I did actually pick up a metal lure but didn't get it out the box this time, I've never really fished with lures so I never feel confident with them. Saying that I'm not all that confident with bait 😂 maybe I'll give it a shot next trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
