They are back

[CarlG]

Each to thier own methods ! , I have no troubles with trebles at all , i prefer them ! , they catch me more fish , so long as you get the treble size right .
I Don't want to argue on this !, whatever works for you and catches you fish is good . cheers mate , Rick.

Exactly right. I just fish singles `cos it works for me, as I said, I think you land more with trebles, but hook up more easily with singles, so it balances out. In reality, most of my sambo`s go back anyway, so it`s no great shakes...
Anyhoo, better head off to work I suppose...lol...

If you have trouble with salmon, or any fish realy spitting a treble hook, most poeple think the hook is too big, total opposite !. You either have blunt trebles or they are too small !
In reality , you have to consider a treble like 3 seperate hooks , just because it is 3 small hooks ganged together and looks big , it doesn't mean that if even 1 off those small 3 hooks out of the lot hook a fish that it will hold !. Consider the size fish you are after as if you were using a single hook , then if using a treble consider it as 3 seperate hooks, and use a treble with the same size hooks. By doing this you have 3 times as much luck hooking the fish than if you had a single hook the same size as one of the hooks on the treble .
Don't be fooled into thiniking the treble is too big for the 'fishies' mouths , all you need is one of them too hook , just like a single , and 1 of those hooks big enough for the barb to penetrate into the lip of the fish.

Cheers , Rick.

I had just changed the trebles so wouldn't be that issue.....been burnt there before.

Good points made by both Rixter and Carl.

I add another treble on my lures sometimes one on each end. The more the merrier.

Hi Gentlemen,

I was curious to know the location where the big family of salmon were caught on such a hot day! I noted the spot called "Gunners" in Rosebud! I also looked this up and it is a carpark is this correct? If so how long does it take to walk to the beach that you fished in? and what direction from the carpark should i head down too! want to try my chance on sunday!!!! great report by the way!

Regards,

Fishermans friend!

I was spinning in Kerferd last year and I saw this guy using a "fly" attached to his trebles using about 30cm of mono. It was like the sparkler we see on snapper snatcher. He caught more salmon on the "fly" than on his lures. Interesting to try in Gunners.....

It is gunnamatta beach in Fingal as per where the report is located. The whole beach can produce fish.....salmon move around alot depending on where the food is so you need to prospect to find them. As Carl would say "The Salmon will hang out wherever the hell they feel like it. Sometimes you`ll find them in the gutters, sometimes they`re under the whitewash, sometimes they`re virtually on the bloody beach just behind the breaker. Don`t let anyone tell you, "only fish gutters, that`s where they always are" `cos it`s a load of bollocks.

Like all the spin fisho's on this forum we keep it light and mobile, backpack with some lures, spare leader, some spare terminal tackle and off you go.

and bring a 1 inch thick rope to tie your fish. When you see buddy Carl, you will understand why.
