Dead then Nuts

Post by Raulfc7 » Tue Jun 11, 2013 8:50 pm

Drove down to Gunnamatta this afternoon got there at 1pm high tide at 2:20. The surf was angry but decided an 1hours drive deserves a fish. I spun for about 3hours with no luck, spoke to other fisherman both bait and spinners and no one had any luck.
Decided to leave and head for Sorrento and got there at 4:30. Plenty of people on the pier with lures at the ready :icon_lolz:
10 minutes later saw two dolphins harassing the salmon towards the right side of the pier but to far out. The dolphins decided to do all on the pier a favour and they brought them around the left side and towards the shallows. Well that's when everyone made their way over to the left side facing the shore and with archers at the ready lures were launched. For about 40min it was full on action. Caught 12 between 800g - 1kg dropped one larger than a 1kg, kept 10 and left with the salmon still biting. My hands were bugged with all the action but I'm not complaining :icon_lolz:

Too much fun when it all comes together. When the buggers oblige it is really on for young and old. Great to see a pier full of smiling faces.

Sunday at sparrows, they turned it on for ten minutes. Been feasting on chunky bite size pieces of salmon in beer batter since. Vietnamese dipping sauce and a few bevvies......:)

Nothing really between the two, just comes down to personal preference
