Spinning for South Avoca Salmon

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, first post here so go easy on me

Headed down to south avoca to fish the turn of the tide after hearing of pelagics in the area, it was pretty quiet all day until about an hour and a half after low tide. One guy snagged a nice 50-60cm piece so i decided to start throwing my x rap about 20 metres down from him. After 10 or so casts my rod keels over and a huge salmon starts pulling, thought it was a king after some bright yellow flashes but soon realised it was a salmon after some small jumps. Good fight on 12lb line and my first salmon on spin! Ended up going 67cm but didnt land any after that, however there were huge bust ups about 150m offshore.

Thanks for reading if u made it this far

Welcome & well done on a good sized salmon on the 12lb gear. I think we chatted briefly about bleeding your mates fish (using scissors)
