Salmon Williamstown

Post by Fishydave » Fri Jun 23, 2017 4:06 pm

Went to give the boat a run after little use over winter, came across about 6 dolphins chasing a school of salmon. Was a sight to see, dolphins going everywhere, salmon jumping out of the water, was very exciting. Will try and post a video.

Always good to see. It's meant to indicate a healthy bay. Out Portland way sometimes dolphin numbers are in the hundreds....

Good to hear some big Salmon around, usually around Sept-Nov i have see the big ones around the bay,even though they are not everybody's favorite on the menu,they are exiting to catch,especially 2-4 kg models.

Had a similar experience last week in Werribee South. Was heading towards a bust-up and a pod of dolphins surfaced right next to my kayak then started feeding on the school.
