Sambos in the swan
Hey all went fishing today with original teenage, was at e shed when nothing was really going on so we left to go to that bridge just round the corner, the one with the really fast current. Dunno what its called but it goes under all the trafic. Anyway, when we were walking along the bridge we looked down into the water and wtf! sambos?! no shorter than a meter long, tried everything but it just turned its nose at us. Squid,Mulie, Lures, Plastics, wasnt interested in a thing! then we noticed another 3 more just cruising around the shallows of the bridge. Got photos here in my mobile but cant find my cord to the computer, original teenage has some photos that he could post.
Beautiful fish just to watch cruise around effortlesly in the shallows, tried to hook up to one for a bit of a pull but they didnt want to play ball.
Oh well didnt catch a thing or i woulda tried a livie infront of it, still a good day out just to see one at the river mouth.

Sambos
Nice to look at. Pain when you are on light gear and even more of a pain because I am not sure how good an eating fish they are and generally spoil my fun trying to catch good eating fish. Mind you, they do fight like buggers so can liven up an otherwise dull day

You would have had a bit of fun keeping
them away from the pylons Flangies. I have heard of people hooking small Sambos near Eshed.
