Salmon Session

Had an unreal salmon session yesterday in nice and close. Convoyed out with 2 other boats and we all caught plenty of fish. Catch of the day has to go to my mate Jeff, I've known Jeff since primary school and the extent of his fishing carrer was with me catching herring on green straw back in high school. The arsey bastard caught a 68cm pinkie on a bloody richter plug, as well as butt load of salmon! On the way back to the ramp we come across a waterspout which topped off quite an eventful day!

Anyway, I'll let the photos do the talking.

Cast around some hookless stickbaits for some cool surface action. No matter how quick you could reel in, the salmon could always swim faster!

Looks like I picked the wrong salmon season to miss. Great work

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.
