Yeah, I was doing that. I made sure to not give them any slack line too but they still managed to jump off. It was only the big ones that caused problems, I was able to land the smaller ones easy enoughTackleberry wrote:in the wash keep the rod tip down parallel to the ground and at a right angle to the fish.... works for me

Re: Gunnamagic
bigger hook for the bigger ones but you will miss a lot of the smaller ones swings and merry go rounds

he means while fighting the fish, hold the rod parallel to the beach so the line forms a 90 degree angle to the rod, all while keeping the rod tip as close to the sand as possible

Re: Gunnamagic
Ah yeah I get it now.
No I don't do that. Maybe I should. Will experiment next time I'm casting into a school.

Re: Gunnamagic
yep thats right and you don't want to help them jump with a high rod tip when they are only 15 to 20 yards in front of you

Re: Gunnamagic
You keep losing salmon in the wash 'cos you're a useless flog, lets not beat around the bush here.4liters wrote:Had a reasonable morning at the Gunn today, ended up with 3 at 25-35cm and got half a dozen hookups of what felt like very solid fish but I kept losing them in the shore break. They seemed equally adept at spitting trebles and singles. All hookups were on either a red head Halco Outcast or a Busted 45.
Pretty much had the beach to myself (not counting the surfers) with only one bait fisho near the steps who was gone when I made my way back
When trying to land salmon through the break is it better to have the drag tighter or looser?
Went for a drive after that and ended up at Walkerville South, and then Cape Paterson. Both beaches seemed pretty shallow and featureless so I decided against staying into the night for a gummy session. Walkerville looks like an amazing place to take the yak some time though
Lol..
