First salmon this season or last from last year?

 Down Sth for the weekend and caught two salmon on consecutive nights off the beach. Both around the 38 cm mark. Would these be front runners for the year? Good fun on the herring rod.

Pretty happy to catch a feed both nights, on the beach near Dunsborough.

 There's always a few resident fish down south especially of the smaller models, we've got some schools of herring+ sized salmon around the metro atm

 It's been a funny year this year. There have been salmon around all year, regularly being caught off the Busso jetty.

38cm

At 38cm they would be classed as salmon trout from last seasons spawning and on their way south.

This seasons adult fish should be starting to show up around Albany and Augusta any time soon
