went out again this weekend and found some more salmon and squid
this time i trialled out a few different things on the salmon, some stickbaits and spinners, along with various plastics
everything got smashed, we caught probably around 50 plus fish between 3 of us (all released) and hands are well and truly buggered
2 of them being new to plastics/lures and was learning, this was a good time to get some practice for sure.. this time we all used 8lb line
the fish were on the smaller side this time with most fish being between 40 and 50cm and a few 55cm and some smaller models mixed in..
only very few pics this time cause i couldn't be bothered..

The salmon must be stacked in the bay! It's good to see because usually when there is heaps of salmon around the snapper season should be good.

I ended up heading out from altona for a quick flick on sat till about mid day. the morning was perfect!

Cheers, Anth
