Thanks for the help guys, I've found a good spot for 0.5 - 0.75 kg salmon, just inside western port bay, west entrance.
So bagged a few yesterday and froze them up, I'll take them over to the east entrance next week if the weather permits, and can find someone with balls to come with me.
If you never hear from me again, then I guess it went very badly
Don't worry Reidy your reel is on the way.
