"Well done on that first capture on a lure" dajayjay was awarded the badge 'Great Content' and 50 points. Hi All Raiders! Started the day around 7am at Drummoyne Bay for my first session with @DerekD joined by @Obsessed Fisherman. @DerekDis so fantastic to share his knowledge and mentoring me on lure fishing, I have been trying lure / soft plastics fishing for a few months without any success so I can't wait to break the duck. Lesson for the day - FC knot for braid to leader knot, leader length, proper hand placement on the reel / rod, casting and walk the dog retrieving technique using sugapen. Lesson end around 9:30am and I think I did quite ok with my casting distance, but definitely need a lot more practice with accuracy and retrieving technique. Thank you so much and can't wait for my next lesson with @DerekD. Straight after the lesson @Obsessed Fisherman was kind to invite me to join him for another session in middle harbour. Got there about 30mins later, rigged up with a 15g micro jig and then @Obsessed Fisherman gave a run-down of the location and showing me technique to fish with micro jig. I was retrieving second cast when my line started to pull and after a nice fight and carefully navigating around oyster beds, I landed my first fish on lure, a 50cm Salmon . Thank you @Obsessed Fisherman, looking forward to fishing with you again. Can't ask for a better Sunday!

big Neil Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Very well done to all 3 of you. Team work pays off again and the true essence of being a Fishraider member comes to the fore. That Salmon would have put your newly found experiences to the test and you came out a winner. Well done , each of you. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenHourFishing Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Plenty of salmon around in the bays lately. Im finding they are focused on the jelly prawns, small soft plastics are doing well on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
