Arrived early in Gunners this morning. Started prospecting for productive areas using the light gear but it was unsuccessful. I spent about 30 min in the hole after the first rock for nothing. Carl said 430-530 AM was the right time but it was almost 6AM and still nothing. Decided to head back to the car park but when I tossed my lure in the middle of a hole (now after the rock towards the car park), it was inhaled by a big salmon which I lost in the wash. My light gear was no match to the big salmon. That was exactly 6AM. I quickly changed to heavier gear and 40 grams lure but lost 6 salmon in a row. I changed to smaller lure and I started landing fish. 4 landed against 8 lost in less than 10 minutes. Landed 4 more and lost 5 more then they disappeared. I went back to the area after the rock and there was a seal chasing the salmon. Hooked a big one but I lost it when it went for the rocks. Landed 4 more and dropped 2. It was already 630AM and I had to head home as I have work at 830AM. I left them biting. Bagged 12, dropped 15 in 30 mad minutes. At some point arms felt so heavy that every cast was a big effort.
Biggest was 1.8 kg, smallest was 1.1 kg. Majority were between 1.3 and 1.5kg.
Thanks Carl for the rope. It works.
