I'm chomping at the bit to get to east gippsland and chase salmon - I'm heading down on the Anzac weekend. I love surf fishing

Well lets hope Franken is running on Sunday so we can do an overnighter at Whitehills or nearby?

Alex and Dave, do you want to make some tentative plans?

because for years people have been fishing there for salmon, mullaway, sharks and herring (and I grew up in Trigg)

I personally haven't tried it but I reckon it would be fun trying to hold on once the Salmon realises it's hooked.. yeahaa.. the kayak would become a instant jetski

yeah seen it done at hemelin bay afew weeks ago. The school moved off shore just beyond our casting range and this dude pulls a kayak out. Looked like GREAT fun, he'd catch one, then bring it back to shore then go back out there haha.

Looked great

Try and stay dry this time

And post pics of the catch

Yes pics please.

Us poor folks over East think a 2kg salmon is big. I think the eastern subspecies grows to a max of 4kg. I believe the record for the western salmon is about 10-12kg? Bloody big anyway!!!

:twisted:

Totally different kettle of fish? lol

:rolleyes:
