My first spin for the season last night also. Also after looking at photos of large salmon from previous years caught at this exact time of year.
Temperature wise I think we have a later ' season' on land but not sure if that corresponds to the ocean.
A first for me- I caught a Tailor. Also an australian salmon.
Moggs creek area Aireys inlet. Evening with a storm coming in. New graphite rod. Swell larger than I thought.
Another first for me was getting electrical shocks thought the bail arm and rod seat just before the storm hit.
Very nice mate!
A couple of beauties there :thumbsup:
They look big. How big were they?

Yes 15lb braid 10kg nylon leader. 40g gillies baitfish with a single 2/o gamakatsu hook. I didn't measure but clearly legal.
Unfortunately for the tailor- If i get another its coming home because they are pretty tasty. Bled gilled and gutted straight away.

That looks pretty tasty mate.
We got a big tailor the other day as well and it ended up being a very nice meal. Bled, gilled and gutted straight away and washed clean in salt water. I much prefer them over salmons any day :thumbsup:
