Its abit boring for me, but i will throw the report up anyway cause people say they are lacking.
Launched after work at about 3.00 yesterday.
Shouldve been 2, but there was a problem down the ramp with a mechanic bringing up some big ass boat from a mooring onto a trailer for repairs and the winch rope snapped.
I could see they would have trouble getting this 2 tonne thing onto the trailer considering the boat was sitting on the sand.
To cut it short, after about 1 hr the trailer buckled, thats when i decided to go along the beach and drop it in the sand.
We took no bait and it was going to be a jigging session at the place we been getting the Kings and Samsons.
Didnt get any Kings, but we took 6 Samsons home with us. Bloody good eating fish!
On the way in we mucked around throwing lures at thousands of Salmon. Bloody good fun on the bait rod with 2 kg line.
No photos cause they got filleted whilst still on the boat.

Maybe have a better report for you all tomorrow, i may go Reddy hunting. Its been a while...

I hope you know that filleting your fish on the water is illegal Salty, wouldn't want to see you get pinged for it.
Damned stupid law if you ask me.

Good report.

Dont tell me you're now ETTing salmon

Kats wont even ETT those

I actually do keep them if i get a few.
Some of the old neighbours around dont mind them.
When the veggie harvest comes round they always send some of the fresh stuff round my way.

I hear ya mate.
But sometimes i just want to get the job done when the bites gone off.
It doesnt happen all the time. Its just that the ramp ive been using of late has no cleaning facilities and i dont like making a mess at home, (unless i wanna show off a half decent fish) especially with all the flies that have been around lately.
When i do do it on the water i keep the frames with me to dump in the bay near the ramp just in case. Also feeds the tiddlers so they remember me when they grow up and line up to jump on my hook!!

I think the wording of that fisheries law/rule mentions mutilate Salty, "thou shall not mutilate a fish on water" or some such so quite possibly keeping the frames & fillets would be OK.
Just say, "Sure they've been filleted but look, I can put them back together again".
Let me know what they say to that. LOL!
