St Leonards Salmon Bust Up - 14/12/2021
Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2021 3:54 pm
Hey everyone,
I wanted to throw together this quick update from my session yesterday @ St Leonards Pier.
If anyone is keen for weekly updates, I post three times a week on Instagram under the handle FishingAndrew.
The past week has been pretty poor conditions for squid and the lack of fresh ink reflects that.
That said, we've been getting a run of salmon which are chasing bait schools of pilchards.
Tuesday 14/12/2021
5:15PM-7PM Overcast evening decent S wind with a clean run in tide.
Mate and I rocked up and within five minutes we noticed this huge bust up heading out way, well within two minutes they were at out feet.
There were all decent size with some solid fish amongst them, we swapped over to the Zman Minnowz 3" for the bigger profile and first cast we were on! Managed 8 fish in 30 mins before the school moved on. Unfortunately knocked the gopro in the fight before. The emeraldas is nice, but not for fighting salmon. Definitely felt under gunned.
