FFB Salmon

Was out last weekend having a troll for an elusive metro mack around the back of FFB behind Garden Island when we came by a small salmon school - only had my 3kg flick rod for casting so went well on the light gear.
Thanks to my buddy Dave who skilfully manoeuvred the boat during a few tricky moment during the fight.
Looking like it's going to be another good metro salmon season was surprised we saw fish as the water temp was around 23 deg.

Cheers

 The herring fishos at the tip of Pt Peron this arvo got more than they bargained for with a school of 4-5kg salmon in the bay.  Saw a couple of nice fish landed on 3kg flick rods with a burley cage and size 6 hook.
