plankton 725 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Met up today with a mate I haven't fished with for awhile. We met at a local beach to fish the afternoon tide. After a dismal July on the salmon I was really hoping to get into some fish. Second cast and I was on, felt good to get a bend in the rod, it's been awhile since I've felt that sensation. Just a 30cm fish, but I'd already matched my catch total from last month. There were definitely some fish around, but they were spread out all over, lots of casts between fish. Over a couple hours I landed about half a dozen, all around the same size. My mate did about the same, and he hooked one fish he reckoned was much better but he dropped it before we got a look. A really nice afternoon weather wise as well. Looking forward to more fish showing up and some warm Spring conditions. bjorn2fish, hoopsy, Kuerschie and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn2fish 4,612 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Onya plankton. It was a great day for a fish today, good to see you got into some action, hopefully you'll get into more soon. Nice beanie doobie and plankton 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Well done Plankton, that must have felt really good. And to get around a dozen all up is not so bad. But you could have left some in the sea as there none at Southport, Maslins or Sellicks this morning, just one lone ST at Pt Willunga. I agree with Bjorn too - nice beanie plankton 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kuerschie 2,309 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Agree with all the above, awesome work getting out there Plankton! Have heard that there are a few schools moving up and down the southern coast everyday as far as Myponga up to Southport. Suppose it's just a case of being at the right beach right time. doobie and plankton 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks guys. There's definitely seems to be more fish around, a couple other blokes on the beach said there were heaps more salmon caught there on Saturday. They seem to be moving around a lot and not schooled up very much, might have to try getting out for a sunrise session. And it is a great beanie, although I must admit it wasn't really beanie weather yesterday, I put it on for the comp photo, need to get a strikehook cap for warmer weather.

It's a bit of a crap shoot as to where they'll be on any given day, just happened to get lucky this time. The Fishing Guru 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
