dylzzz69 95 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Claiming it as my best day fishing ever!Which is a BIG call for me.Heading down to locks well and a MASSIVE school of salmon sitting in a gutter about 40m out.Grabbed my favourite lure Duel Adagio and proceeded to cast for hours on end until my arms were sooooo sore!Normally these schools hold fish 1-3kg but ended up hooking a donkey of a fish!New PB salmon from the surf for me went 5.8kg.Few sharks hanging out the back and kept the school of fish right there. didn't really want to hook a 10ft bronzie but when you foul hook a salmon I suppose it's easy food for him.Thank goodness got my lure back!awesome fun! went back the next day with my whiting rod 6lb line but the school had moved to far out the back to cast Chief, piratepom, keenfisho and 11 others 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tacklebags 404 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Funny how you fished it hard in prime time in winter but got your pb close to summerI used to fish browns beach a fair bit back in the early nineties. The biggest salmon were usually between late September to December.Largest I can recall weighing was 13.47 pounds or 6.1kgs.TB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylzzz69 95 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Schools of fish are still around at the moment!I'm like a kid in a candy store!! I can't help myself I love hooking the salmon and letting them go!gonna take my whiting rod there this arvo for a fish. but I reckon a 5kg slob out of the surf will test my fishing abilities! piratepom, Tacklebags and 4THALOVE 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Absolutely loving this thread.Reminds me of the time we chased a school up and down the beach near Suicide Point just over a year ago.All we had to do was cast out, catch a fish, cast out, catch a fish etc.Only kept 10 between us out of over 50 caught.Wasn't anything over 4kg though, just heaps of salmon.And good timing.
