Salmon Madness
Submitted by MattMiller on Sat, 2014-04-05 17:18
For a change of pace I decided to take the boat out today with a mate and get stuck into the mega schools of salmon that are holding up off Bunkers.
With up to 40 other boats in the area it bordered on the ridiculous at times but with at least 4 different schools it wasn't hard to find enough room to land a few.
Our rough tally for the morning was well over 30 with numerous other fish lost due to using stupidly light gear (4lb)

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Nice Matt. Sounds like everyone went salmon fishing. I went offshore and didn't see a boat all day except for a pro boat.
