busso salmon 26/3
you wouldnt believe the luck i had today .. launched the tinnie with busso fisho today to look for a few more salmon (pity you had to work Honsu) . the weather was really poor with 25kt easterlies screaming over the hill making the water a mess and very annoying in a 13 foot tinnie. anyway we found a school of fish before getting to the beach and i landed a nice fish to 6kg then lost em .. so we continued to the beach and found anouther school with shore based guys casting at them. i fired off a cast and hooked up allmost instantly , well the silly salmon runs straight into the shallows and i got tangled by a shore based angler ... now having only 8lb braid on a 2500 reel left me with no line .... SNAP - SPOOLED .. after a bit of swearing i ripped in closer to the beach looking to find my backing on the water surface .... and i did .. retied the backing to the reel and wound up the slack .. what do you know - still salmon on the end .. i lost him a few minutes later but was still bloody funny .. ended up with about 15 salmon for the day up to 6 odd kg
lucas has a pic or 2 but wont post till monday

very lucky indeed, great day
very lucky indeed, great day from the sounds of it, sounds like there is a few salmon showing up at selected spots on selected days, maybe a few more weeks and they will be firing alot better
