little salm0n report from salm0n hunter
Ok guys and ladys i happened to throw a line in with my father last week end at bunbury i bought my tackle from whiteys in austro and bcf,gotone and the reports from them on the salmon topic was neither here nor there not much activity but i managed to fish amoungst the weed and miserable weather and managed to nail a nice mulloway 75cm and a few herrin and a rare tailor of 30cm,. the old bloke was amoungst all the salmon action nailing 3 on mullies.
having said all this the hours we put in the salmon were hit or miss he describes the bites as feeling just above a herring bite befor a solid thump so i can honestly say the salmon where not on the bite and 2 out of the 3 had battle scars from other preditors out there. all in all try back beach hopfully it picks up soon :) if any one else has had great sucess please feel free to post reports in this thread cheers salm0N hunTeR

nothing @ dalyellup beach.
nothing @ dalyellup beach. plenty of weeds (talking 2 or so kgs most casts). blowies are shocking there - mullies literally falling off the hooks. hope you land a couple mate cause they avoided me like the plague. good luck :)
didnt see any herring too which was a bit odd. maybe something lurking out there????

Salmon beach
Took a trip down windyHarbour to our usual spot, picked up five salmon three were pretty chewed up one had a bite across his back about 180mm across, another had most of his tail missing, he still fought well.
Lots of herring ,pulled a few in on mulie baits and ganged hooks ,mostley jagged.
One guy pulled a large tarwine/silver bream out ,he was a happy camper.
One of the locals at the quinninup pub said there was heaps of sharks about.A slab of fresh salmon was the best bait.( no supprise)
I recon there might be one more trip left in this season.I might have to try a little further north.
Cheers Uncle Stu

YALLINGUP
Went down to Yallingup for the long weekend chasing salmon The swell was up which made it difficult and after 2 days of throwing every lure in the tacklebox at it all i had to show for it was herring and a snook.So on monday decided to resort to the trusty mulies and bagged 2 salmon in 6 casts.One was 6 kilo and in prime condition although i was suprised how quickly he came in on the 6 kilo outfit i was using.The second was smaller at 4.5kg and made a better account for himself considering he had already had a run in with a shark and or dolphin and had a set of gangers in his mouth from a previous angler.Both fish were released.
