James and myself head off Beaumaris this afternoon. Upon inspection, conditions were looking good. Eager to get in the water, we geared up and set off. Upon entering the water, the visibility was average, but we soldiered on. It took 10 minutes for us to find an enormous school of salmon (100+ fish), with jimmy taking two good ones and myself shooting three, but landing only one. In the landing process of my salmon, I lost my knife and couldn't find it. Luckily it was only $10. We then ventured around the shallows to hunt some flathead, Jimmy found one and unfortunately missed. I took a nice shot at a large one from point blank and as I didn't have a knife, had to hail jimmy over so I could borrow his knife. The flatty measured up 53cm. I saw a dusky (Mum for some reason enjoys the taste of dusky) and had one shot to stone it (didn't have my knife) and I nailed the shot. I took home three fish and Jimmy took home two. A very good session. I have a video of one of the salmon I lost, which is quite funny, and a video of the salmon I managed to land. Ill post them below.
Dusky: 54cm 1.2kg.
Flathead: 53cm 825g
Salmon: 45cm 850g
Salmon Not Landed - I was a bit excited and don't usually celebrate, but this was my first salmon I had ever shot.
