Super Saturday Salmon Sesh!
On the water at 8:30 yesterday morning with the boy and headed straight out from Hillarys to see what we could find. Not long in the 20s and we saw heaps of bird activity and after a minute observing and not seeing any bust ups I decided to troll. In a matter of seconds we were on. The fish were spread out everywhere and wasnt hard trollin them up each time, just follow the birds... The wind dropped right off around 10 and the birds were getting tired of flyin around but the fish started bustin up here and there so had some fun casting into the schools and very visual strikes with loads of followers and strikes right up to the boat, the water was thick with them!
Been havin fun micro jiggin lately and when we were sounding the fish down deep, right under where the birds were gathered, sitting on the water, I thought, why not, who cares if we get smoked! After Brock pullin the hooks on a couple, it was my turn to fight one on the gomoku and 10lb. Instant hook up on the bottom, the fish seem to head to the surface easily so they can jump in an attempt to throw the hooks, then they power down to the bottom again, good fun with no idiot boaties or structure to compete with. So stoked to get the boy on to them, as he was to catch them, a bit too much for him when they went deep tho, needs to put on a few kegs and a few months in the gym lol. Lost count of how many we hooked and boated, was a great session, spewin I forgot to charge the camera, would have been heaps more fun footage....
Watch in 1080.....

Nice report mate.
I seem to go north then the salmon is south when I'm south the reports come from the north. Very frustrating.
