rotnest salmon help

haya guys,

im at rotnest atm and went ot today to the westend just to see what was there.

found a small school of salmon in the corner of a litle bay , about 15-20 fish.

anyway i spent about 3 hours casting at the same school with metals, plastics and a diving lure that someone

left wraped in seaweed for me. AND NOTHING!!! gooooooot a fue bumps and half assed chases, Most of them were injured so i dont think thay cared about chaseing.

im going out tommorow and i was hopeing to get a few tips (if i can find salmon again)

PS these guys were only about 10 m from shore with a couple swimming rite in to shore (if i had a gidgy???)

 

THANKS for any help you can give

try burly, chuck some bread crums, mulies and oil in just try get them on the bite, salmon can be a little like on one day and not the next. It sounds like your lure selection is fine, as a last resort you could try using a mulie or a herring.

dunno where you were, but I assume shore based - I pretty much got a fish a cast for an hour today at the back end of rotto. ENded up chucking GT poppers and winding flat out to see if I could not hookup - I think I got one cast back to the boat in about 7.
