Salmon - Yallingup

We fished Yallingup Beach for Salmon this weekend. There were a number of nice salmon caught in the 5 to 7 Kg range, with the vast majority of captures around sunrise and sunset. A few schools came in close, and twice we saw dolphins herding the schools.

On sunday evening the beach was packed with fisho's, and a few nice fish were caught. We managed to land two nice salmon after dark. Photo's attached.

We also fished from the boat out of Canal Rocks in around 10m of water and the variety of fish caught was impressive.
Flathead, Herring, Jewfish (juvenile), Scaly Mackerel, Samson Fish, Skippy, Pink Snapper (juvenile), Ray, Whiting, Wrasse.

The highlight was a 7Kg Sambo on light tackle (7' Daiwa rod, Shimano FX2000 reel and 12lb PreTest mono (no leader)) landed by a first timer !
