called in sick :sick: this morning and hit the road to Blairgowrie Marina. Arrived in the concrete at 530AM. My target was the salmon that comes early everyday as I was told.

weapons of choice were:

Combo 1 - NEW NEW NEW :banana: :super: T-curve revolution spin and Stradic 2500 CI4 with 20 lb braid, armed with SP

Combo 2 - the ever reliable Tsunami 7 foot spin gear paired with Stradic 2500FH with 20 lbs braid. Armed with yo-zuri crystal minnow

Spare gear, Combo 3 - Shimano starlo stix shore spin 9 foot rod paired with Stradic 4000FH, with 20 lbs braid, Armed with shiny metal lures.

Stupid me, I decided to leave combo 3 at home thinking that I will never need it. Too much guns will scare the enemies :lolf:

Tried squid while waiting for the salmon to come - no hits for almost 1 hour.

Around 630AM, the water started boiling just near the dredged area. The school was just within the casting distance of combos 1 and 2. Then on my third cast, they disappeared. Minutes later, the water boiled way too far for my light gears to reach. Then I remembered my combo 3. Why did I leave it at home? :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: Will go back there Saturday morning with 9,10 foot or 12 foot spin gears. The fish can stay as far as Sorrento and I should be able to drop a lure in their midst. Had 1 hit on SP but no hook up. I saw the fish. It was big. :angryfire: Caught one squid while watching the school of salmon bursting the surface. If only I was able to get to the floating pontoons.....anyone knows someone who has a key to open the Marina gates? I'll bring the beer, just let me in amongst the boats. :tongue:

An inflatable boat could have been very handy this morning.

I left the marina at 830AM and the school was still there.

Went to Sorrento - zero
Went to Rye - zero
