Just got an email from StrikeHook telling me ive been inactive and theres a salmon comp on, best email ever! 1 week and 1 day til I head off fishing :D 

Hi guys,
 
Got a bucket load of ST's, a few mullet and one 60cm (from memory) mully from inside the coorong opposite hindmarsh island. It was our first time down there we packed the swags, some wood, chucked it in the boats and set up camp. what a great spot! but man it was cold haha! Then more recently down salt creek, crossing at 42 mile and heading north. got only a couple of salmon, a couple soapies, a 4ft wide melbourne skate that had me chasing it a quarter mile down the beach (cooking and fishing dont always go hand in hand, any longer before checking the reel and I wouldve been spooled)!. But to top it off was a 73cm mully, almost brought a tear to my eye releasing that one back out to the surf! Ive managed a couple legals before and let a third go so no biggy but was pretty keen on a feed that trip! heading down again this weekend who knows maybe he's grown another couple cm's and will make the 3rd addition to my oven! Love fishing this time of year!

Great posts here but this thread is torture - I haven't caught either one of them once!!! (I dont believe that "Snapper" charters really count, half the fun is working hard to find your own grounds with your own gear). Such great fish, cant wait til I finally do land both species!
