Hi Kim that was a nice catch thank you for given us the fish we had it fresh that day on the BBQ very nice my son at the end will really be happy to see the video of him.
Great footage mate. Love surf fishing and I used to do alot in Vic and southern NSW. Since I moved To Tassie, havn't done much and would love to start up again. Also love spinning along the beaches. Fish out in boat for squid, snapper, kingies, etc and for Bream and trout in the rivers, but hopefully will get some time to catch a few cocky's and also gummies on the beaches. Cracking Atlantic, gave a decent fight. Good condition. Well done on giving it to the young family.
Thanks for the video! It's stuff like this that keep me going until I move down at the end of next year! Beach fishing is what I grew up doing, but I now live too far from the coast to get more than a couple of chances each year. Once I move down I'll be 10 minutes from the nearest beach and have a river (the Huon) across the road from my front door. Can't wait! I bet the smile on the young bloke's face made that all worthwhile. It might be the one thing that gets him hooked on fishing 👍
Salmon on the soft plastics in the surf always fun and don't take much to be a legal size in Tassie at 20cm even Mullet have to be 25cm. Sweet Atlantic and nice to hand the fish off good karma for your next trip ATB.
I should have put a ruler on the last two salmon. Would have been close to 40cm I reckon. Couple fish hit and bent that heavy rod right over off camera. They would have been a good bit bigger again. I will go back there or eaglehawk soon and try to get a big one. I have caught them around the 5 lb mark in the past. They go hard like a game fish.
Hey mate, I like to chase the gummy’s off Calverts beach on the full moon when I get the time to do so. Trying to figure out exactly where you are there in this video! lol Awesome work and you just made a subscriber in me!
They just tell you that so it doesn’t get fished out. Also, salmon don’t live in the Derwent, they are just passing through, so they are completely fine to eat.
