Hamelin Bay take 2

Went down to Hamelin bay again last weekend to Retreive the boat. It surrvived the Storm, and made the journey home.

While there, we got some great weather on Saturday so made the most of it.

Spent the early morning on the beach, with a school of Salmon i would estimate 25+ Tonne right on the end of the boat ramp and around the edge of the reef near the boat ramp. got 4 that morning.

Love the bend in the rod!

Double Hookup

The wrong way to catch Salmon!!! 2 caught like this! Man the fight hard this way!

Then went out on the boat by 10.30,

Did some trawling for a bit for not much, all the way to cosey corner, but only got 1 Big Pike, and a couple herring.

Headed back to Hamelin bay and did some trawling in a known hotspot for Pike / YTK's and had a ball

Landed some nice YTK's, Salmon on almost every run, and one was over 90cms (Will enter in Salmon comp :) )

Got another nice Pike!

Stopped in the Arvo, out behind the island for some Skippy, and wow if only the fish wernt as thick and i might have been able to get some photo's. Ended up with 2 Dozen 1.5KG-3KG Skippy, plus i lost about a half dozen rigs on 6 LB to suspected YTK's.

Had a ray swimming up close t the boat :| not on the bottom

The water was so clear, we could even see the YTK's chasing the Salmon on the end of the line when it got close to the boat.

Dont get days very often there that were this Calm

Caught an undersize DHUFISH off Koks Island on Monday.Definitely a DHUEY,not a Deepsea Jewfish or Threadfin pearl perch and as an ex pro fisherman from down south I certainly know the difference.Sorry no photos but worth a mention
