Hey Brett, thought you were down there, `till I got closer to the bloke and it wasn`t you...lol...

[Fish-cador]

Surprise surprise...the sambo`s were there...none stop for a couple of hours..from .5-1.5 kg fish...the standard gunners mayhem once I found them..gorgeous weather, stunning scenery, top notch fishing...does it get any better..?
Fish were very aggressive, hitting the lure on the drop before I`d even got a chance to bloody wind..lol...And yes FC, I did text that photo so you wouldn`t give me grief lol..
Very relieved, best sesh in the last 6 or 7 weeks..
Carl.

Carl would you say that the Salmon around now are more likely to bite on lures rather then bait or it wouldn't make a difference. I've only ever surf fished with bait and poppers so wondering wether to try with lures.

Hey mate..I always fish with lures for salmon. A number of reasons come into play, the school can be anywhere on the beach, so you want to be mobile. All I carry is my rod, and a little shoulder bag with some leader and a few lures in it. Secondly, when you catch a salmon, you want to be straight back in on the action, so you have no rebaiting or any of that crap to deal with. Thirdly, when your using lures, I think it stirs the salmon up more, especially when there`s a couple of you working close together. For instance, fished gunners a while ago with Brett, he hooked up a good fish, all I did was chuck my lure in behind his, bang, hooked up a 2kg chap..It just makes more sense to lure fish for salmon to my mind. Finally, in the local salmon comp that ran over the winter, out of the top eight, I think 6 at least were caught on lures....what does that tell you..?
