Salmon ???

 Just got back from a fish at Woodies and saw two asian fellas catch a massive salmon that would have been 5+ kilo, they got broken off on 2 more fish. Never seen 2 guys as happy as they were to catch a salmon, was fun to see them really enjoying there fishing. I was fishing with a lure and they were not interested at all.

Was a large school just off the rocks, gotta say I was surprised to see salmon being caught at this time of year. Is this normal?

 Got a 6kg Salmon right at the mouth of Woodies two weeks back.

big school was busting up a school of bait. Couple of kayakers got onto them too.

was surprised they're still hanging around too... Think they'll pretty much become residents now

 Pulling in a few yesterday afternoon. All I came up with was a nice size Tailor from the same area. I hooked a couple last Friday out that way when I was out with Pete D, first one was on light gear and it busted me off. The second one came out of the water and spat the lure. It was a horse, very fat. Pete tried casting a few lures but no go so changed to a plastic and on its way dow the S/P was taken and up came a nice sized pinky. What a bummer (LOL)
