me, the old man and my brother headed down Cheynes beach friday morning with nothing but the rods, beer and high expectations, got there around lunch on friday and headed down the rocks to flick a few lures around for a hour or 2 and much to our dislike it was very slow dad hooking a bonito but losing it at his feet although a small seal came up and was sussing us out (perhaps why the salmon wernt biting?), we headed back and called it a day, only to come back down first thing saturday morning and the rocks were packed managed to find a spot and start what turned out to be an awesome session was slow to start but then the salmon were chasing bait fish about 100m off the rocks with waves of small fish leaping out the water, we managed to land 12 salmon while a good 15-20 spat the lures right at our feet, also a few guys just down from us landed 2 big sambo's. towards the end of the sesh a turtle popped his head up and had a slow swim by. Things started to quitet off so we called it a day, we came back down early sunday morning and it was quiet again, only seeing 1 salmon get landed, but then out of no where a (what i think it was) southern write whale surfaced was a good 12-15m long and only 5-6m off the rocks we thought it was a submarine surfacing! was crazy too see we didnt even know it was there till she came up! so we watcher her swim off and then headed back to pack up and head home, was a great trip cant wait to get back down there was good to see so much marine life! will never forget seeing that whale so close!
