Trying to keep them out of the reef on light line is always fun!
The waiting game!

You have got my mouth watering. Been making preparations to head down south for awhile now and just got to firm up some details.
But I can't wait.

Salmon in Bunbury
Best place to get salmon is on the north side of the old cut at first light in the morning,so if you've got a dinghy or 4x4 its the place to go

Spent 2 weeks in Busso last
Spent 2 weeks in Busso last year during March....made a couple trips down the west coast and did lots of prospecting in the Meelup area and never saw a fish. But then they started coming through big time in early April and I managed to get onto some by doing a few day trips.
The metro salmon run last year was a bit of a fizzer, at least for shore based, but I'll be down at the Cut and Mandurah entrance just about every day after work, having a look!
