meelup beach or the north end of bunker bay(near the rocks) has worked for us 5 years running at easter and the old faithful paternoster with a star sinker on the bottom and ganged hooks/mulie always works or for lures take your pick metals/minnows/plastics all work at the right time.   cheers

10ft plus surf rod

4000 or more size reel

20lb braid

40lb fluorocarbon leader

4/0 size gangs

Paternosta style rig

Mulies, Herring fillets.

Metal Slices, Stickbaits, Minnow lures, Poppers etc.

Find a surf break ie, Boodjinup Beach, Gnarabup etc.

driving to Margs when you can catch them in town. Anywhere in Geo Bay ie. Fish Rock, Castle Rock/Bay, Meelup, Point Pique, Eagle Bay, Rocky Point, Bunkers Bay etc. will have them passing through regularly at that time. You can just sit there and wait for them to pass through then baitcast a mulie or cast a hardbody 5m infront then HANG ON!

Along with the bay there are numerous spots along the west coast that will have bigger schools >50tonne at various times. These are the ones I look for

Send me a PM if you'd like a little more detail.

Mitchell's rock by Injidup, middle reef or Super tubes at Smith's beach, Yallingup first sand track passed the beach shops [first light] middle reef and Rocky point at Bunkers bay

that's only 50% of my favourite salmon spots, now all he needs to do is learn how to cast 120m

no pros neeting in the bay anymore, should be bumper schools mate, from old dunsborough thru to bunkers beach, eagle bay is my ol fav few beers n esky rods out , should be thick by easter, good luck

pm me if u want i can give u updates whilst ur here,

 or come out on the boats :) 

bring the light gear with you ,,, 10lb with 20 lb leaders 

Im with feral on the light gear selection. Last year i landed on 8lb and this year my goal is to land one on 4lb.

Everyone has already hit the spots. I have had luck at bunker bay, Farm and geo bay. A little drive south at smiths is also good. As Matt Miller has said no point driving 50kms south if there are schools frequently in the bay

Just send a slice out, crank it back at a quick pace and then hold on. After your first hook up you will be addicted for life, salmon fishing is like crack but more expensive.

And if you know they are there and won't bite, live herring gets em every time!

eagle bay meelup a few beers what else

bring a stick with a bent hook, salmon everywhere, eagle bay  - meelup- old dunsy or go west to smiths , yalls beach, or ride an esky or float to rockys for some thick schoolin action, or pm me and ill take you into the thick of it, from a boat, personally beach fishing these babies are more fun,
