Light Tackle Salmon Action...Part Two!

[sexton]

Well after last weeks fun on the salmon, I just had to get back out there and get amongst it again.

This time Grant and myself hatched a plan to see if we could find some more of these southern sportfish and tempt them into eating our offerings.

We launched the boat early Saturday morning and proceeded to make our way to our chosen destination in the pitch black darkness...

Upon our arrival, we started to search for the tell tail signs of a feeding school of salmon.
We didn't have to wait long, in fact it only took about 30 seconds after we both had cast our lures out the back of the boat, with Grant commenting "I think I just seen something swim past the boat?!" And within a split second of Grant saying that both our rods buckled over!! Double hook up baby

My hook up was a brief affair as I quickly got smoked. While Grant was battling away with his fish I retied on another leader and lure. I quickly belted out another cast, gave the Imakatsu kirikaze kicker eater2 one twitch and came up tight to a very solid fish. This fish pulled some string, and after all most locking up the drag and palming the reel, this fish just could not be stopped and ended up bricking me on a near by bommie.

I was gutted two cast...Two smoking's...Two lures down

Grant managed to land his fish.
