anyone getting salmon?

I got a really nice spinning setup shortly after christmas and have been itching for the salmon to come on as we get into winter but I haven't been able to find any great quantities. I walked the length of 13th beach yesterday without getting anything, and only got a small one on Friday.
It's not a great salmon beach compared to Gunnamatta but I did expect it to be a bit more productive than this!

Other trips to Bancoora, Apollo Bay etc haven't been productive either so I'm wondering if it's just a **** year for them or something.

There has been an absolute ton of salmon in Corio Bay, but for the beaches not sure!
I'll be trying OGrove in a few weeks.

I beat gunners to froth this morning. Just 1 on lure.

The place was packed with baitos but some did not even get a bite.

Is there warmer water in the bay keeping them there or something?

Yeah seems like there’s heaps in the bay, but I was wondering if anyone else had found them hard to come by along the ocean beaches

I can confirm plenty in the bay. Last 2 trips out big schools feeding frenzy big sambos everywhere around the boat 😃

Hooked up to a few around kilcunda on lures few weeks ago, otherwise have been chasing them around in the bay and struggling to find them 🤦‍♀️, always somewhere else when I go somewhere haha
