Are they edible or good for cray bait, or just catch and release?

randall

all of the above & good fun to boot lol

Fished from 3.30pm hooked and dropped a couple at Bunkers this arvo, only saw one small school, then to finish off a bit of commotion with my dog and a shark trying to get a salmon the guy next to me was landing, my dog ended up with a smiling jack in her leg.............. Better then her ending up in the shark though

I find salmon O.K. as food when its all you have.I cut the white meat into chunks and bounce in a bag full of spices then pan fry with no butter so the spices spread through the meat then add a small amount of butter when you flip it so it remoistens.I seen it on a show and it works good

 Thanks for the report Hezzy

I'm still on holidays so might go have a crack before the Easter crowds get down here.

 I was told there is a huge school down at Hamelin bay 300 -400 tonnes and the sharks and dolphins are having a feast that would be awesome to watch 

reports all along the capes coast over the weekend. 

Personally managed to get into a school this afternoon 

 I live in Perth and was wondering if there were enough schools around to make a day trip south to hopefully get into a school land based? I might try to make the long journey and try to go between the capes and try to find a school. Also is there a specific spot to get down to the beach without a 4X4 that we should try to look at?

thanks,

Went for a drive on Sunday 20th and saw two bigger schools and a smaller school around canal rocks area.

Couple of small schools near Cosy Corner yesterday. The crowds are already in full swing though & it got pretty agro between a few people for awhile. Practice patience people, there's plenty of fish for everyone if we use a little patience & work together. Still, I had my fish early & it was entertaining to sit back watch the late crowd almost come to blows over a nice cold brew.

Cosy corner attracts a few DH's. I had a group set up around me once, so in the end I had blokes fishing a foot either side of me with bare rock and plenty of space on the next rock over. Didnt speak english so i had to resort to making hissing noises and swinging my rod around until they gave me some space. 

hit a good size school today about 50 ton easy out in the boat off a major reef break between the capes ..... hungry , as they hit any lure we ditched at them with gusto ,

we drifted alongside them for quite a while , until a big pod of dolphins smashed into them and made them walk on water almost lol , jeez they get up and go sprayed out across about 100 metres of ocean as they erupted and took off

much better day out on the water than forecast too
