realy great day

me and my 2 best mates decided to go for a fish on penguin island got to the sand bar was freezing cold one of my mates wanted to go back home he thort it was to cold.but i we all ended up walking acrosss the sand bar at high tide with 3.5m swell wasnt the best walk ever but it will do so we got across to the islan and walked to some spots i new.so we started fishing with know bites we were chasing flattys at the time to cold for them this time of year i think so we moved on up a hill around some rocks and then wow i found a spot that i had never seen b4 with masiv holes and big lumps off reef perfect i thort lets get in there started chasing tailor we were geting smashed but didnt hook up so i decided to chainge to a smaller hook and it was a good idea.the fish that were smashing us were masiv herring around the 15cm mark and big tarwine brem then some thing just took my bait smashed it and went for a little run i was thinking tailor but when i reeld it in it was a skippy around 20cm good size.so we spend about 2 hours fishing there and then things went quiet tryed for flattys again with no bites again i then said stuff it lets go to another spot i know were there is good fish there big green back tailor so off we went and finaly got there first cast i got smashed and busted off i then riged up again and bang i was on but the bugger reefed me i said to my mates there is masiv tailor here they didnt belev me they thjort i was geting snagged. but after 5 bust offs in a row my 2nd last gang hook i chucked burly out alot off it to keep thes fish around.chucked my mulie on my gang of 3 and saw 3 huge fish swimming in the shallows but swam to fast i didnt know what there were so i said felles this is the cast.soon as  my bait hit the water and sunk a tiny bit it got smashed after about 10 min fighting this fish it jumped out the water then i knew what it was a big salmon whoo reeld it in and bam got it on the sand my 1st land base salmon one followd it up and i then said to my mate theres more out there next min he was on woooohooooo he said we landed both fish and then my other mate landed one to so that was 3 land base salmon at penguin island about 20 herring about 20 tarwine all chucked back and 2 skippy realy realy good day would love to put pics up but fishwrecked wont let me for some reason.

good work mate! you have to be prepared to put in the hard yards for rewards and youve done just that! btw, those herring, what size were they? 15cm seems a lil small for 'massive' herring?
