Scratched the 2015 Salmon Itch
Good weather forecast down south and a quick call to FW member Chrisp who lives down that way now confirmed there were fish around meant a trip south for some catch and release was a must do.
Last minute thing meant all the normal suspects could not make it so took my daughter and her boyfriend, neihter have beach fished before let alone sight cast to salmon with light gear.
We were met with perfect weather but salmon were very sparse on Saturday. Saw a few fish only on Sat morning, hooked and lost 3, so lunch was a bit glum. I headed off for a solo sess late in the arvo and found some fish, had a ball on 10 lb 2500 size gear with some solid fish, landed and released a few which took the monkey off....
Few beers that night and bacon and eggs breaky followed by a fantastic Sunday morning session. We fished a nice gutter for 10 minutes before a few small schools came through and we got a few, then a large school was pushed in by dolphins and it was on. Great fun, a lot more lost than caught, all released.
Gods country!
Excellent weekend.
