Well.....
A little bird told me there were a few cruising arond Indji on Monday...
Then today before I started work late I went down to Hamelin for a stroll with rod in hand and the pro's were parked on the beach! Had a word to the lads and they said tey got a few on tuesday (when pro's say a few how many tonne is that?!?!?!).
Anyway, they packed up and left without launching, nothing around this morning. I think we need another strorm or two

That's funny! When you were
That's funny! When you were catching those residents last time, I was catching some exactly the same size up here, and the other day I caught another one and the fish in the school would have only been 2kg max, tiny! Strange

So,.. where is the better
So,.. where is the better place to go next week during working days to chase these salmon beasts?
I am going down south, justtrying to work out where to and will be towing my trusty dinghy with a 4x4 just in case!
Any worthwhile sugestions are more than welcome to help me in the right direction.
Anybody else going that wants to meet up?
