    @wsm junkie, sure are mate. One absolute stocker of a brown , 25lb, was caught near the salmon farm just off the main drag a couple of days ago. Well worth a visit if you have the time.

    Caught a couple of rainbows while jigging this morning, a hen and a Jack that had been feeding on Koura. The fat in the belly was as orange as.

    Lot of those super big fish are caught at night,they see so much gear thrown at them in the day time.They worked it out they see less at night and are not so spooked.They still got good eye sight at night and have a deadly sence of smell.Hence uh uh grub,shrimp and salmon row certainly get their noses switching.
