Fish everywhere
Salmon everywhere... Except on my line, had a shocker.
Got to the Patto river mouth at about 1 and there was a lot of people fishing the rocks. I was bait soaking with no luck and had snag after snag while literally everyone around was pulling in salmon(bay trout) between 20-35cm every few minutes one after the other right up until sunset. Soft lures, hard lures of every colour...they kept coming in. :2guns: I switched to lures after a while and managed to lose 2 into the drink as the tide dropped to yet another set of snags! Not my day, but fantastic fishing for everyone else around me. :surrender: grab a lure n head down there!

Re: Fish everywhere

Re: Fish everywhere
Yeah a few weeks back they were smashing the baits. Now they won't touch unless you have a lure of some kind, great fun.
Re: Fish everywhere
If tomorrow morning is good I might give it a go. I need some more gummy bait. Lol.
To fish or not to fish...NOT TO FISH ??Yea...like that's even an option !
