The Australian Salmon

It is time to change the reputation of the humble Australian Salmon!!
The Aussie Salmon is so underrated!
They exist in abundance and are a great fighting fish.
An average sized fish will feed a family of four.
They are not difficult to catch.

Distribution
Eastern Australian Salmon from South Queensland to Tasmania
Western Australian Salmon from Denham south to Albany then east to Tasmania

HOT TIP

Cast your bait into white water on the edge of deep water ( a gutter or hole)

Testimony

 

BONUS

Salmon fillets make excellent bait for a variety of species. Keep some to eat and use some for bait.

I salt down Salmon fillets and freeze them to use for bream and Snapper.

 

By catch
As with targeting any species of fish you will invariably catch other quality fish. There will always be bonus catches.
Enjoy 😊
