The salmon certainly were thick on the beach, still a few around, but we didn't seem to get them in the river like we have had on previous occasions. Although in the river they can certainly be entertaining on bream gear and light plastic. When I said about them not being here, was talking about in the river.
To get to Ballina they have to go past here anyhow, but hopefully they set up elsewhere for awhile.

Hi guys,
Did you get my PM Blackjew??
I went out this morning for a fish and guess what?? SALMON,SALMON AND MORE#@$%SALMON.
They are eating us out of house and home!!
Why do they protect the Shitfish and allow open slather on the quality fish, the Mulloway/Jewfish.?? Beats me??
I got some good news for you fishos at Yamba/Illuka too.
3.5 Tonne of Mulloway netted in the Clarence in the last week.
Happy fishing guys.
Hope you got a 5 year fishing licence cause they are better value
Hard to believe that in the day and age where we as fishers are protecing coral fish (whatever the terminology is) during moon cycles for spawning, protecting breeding cod, bass and barra. Protecting breeding female flatties and considering protecting breeding snapper the poor old jewie is f#@rked. Bycatch? my arse. I can name half a doz rec jew fishos who can tel you within 5 days of when the jew will arrive in the local river. Where they will be and what they will be eating..... 3.5t of jew netted in one week as bycatch?...what do you reckon those jew where doing?..well thats my rant,,,,,I need another beer..............and maybe sum
rum
The only way netters, whether estuary or beach haul are allowed to harvest spawning or breeding fish is vested interest. It is not in the interest of Rec Fishers so why do fisheries and others including the netters persist with this.
I will have a beer with you, it really pisses me off as well.

They do it because they can, ie no-one in officialdom stops them.
Why, I don't know. Not enough rec fishing licence holders aware/give a rats I suspect.
Thank you NSW Rec Licence holders for restocking for us!
A large amount of 'expletive deleted' phrases follow here!
Thats why they look after the Barra in the top end more these days. They know the attraction of the tourist dollar goes way further than a "quick fix" in the back of a net.
I was talking to a retired Pro today and he was saying "theres too many bloody whales out there now"
Had to laugh at that one.
Lookout Humpbacks!!
They are easy to spot, apparently!!
Think I need a R & C myself. Mite be a bit early considering I finish work at 7am sunday.
Humpbacks...that'd be an interesting bycatch
had a few whales under the boat at the crack of dawn this morningOriginally Posted by stonecold
kept checking the sounded to see if it picked them up (no luck
), bloody things leave a great big boil of water around you when they dive under
