Launched at woodies before sunrise and headed out between Garden and Carnac hoping for a pinkey, after a couple of hours with nothing to show we headed out a bit further looking for a feed of whiting. We both changed to our 2-4kg outfits and baited the tiny ganged hooks with a whole whitebait. In 20 mtrs we both dropped our baits over the side...straight into a school of salmon passing under the boat. The sons rod was the first to go with the fish going airborn a couple of times before the leader knot parted. Then my rod bent over and it was on. It took about 50mtrs of PE1 on the first run followed by some spectacular jumps, the whole time we were both waiting for the tiny hooks to pull or the thin leader to go. After about 10 very anxious mins we finally got it in the net. What are the odds of dropping straight onto a school after a random stop in 20 mtrs over nothing but sand. With the school gone we headed in before the arvo traffic jam at the ramps. Salmon patties twice in a week....
