Hi Linda, Hi Martin. I'm heading off to Berry Bay/Gleesons Landing/Point Turton in a few weeks. Can you please provide a few words about beach access. (For example, from your videos it seems that Berry Bay North has a long boardwalk and numerous steps to get down to the beach. Are any other beach fishing locations more readily accessible for senior citizens?) Just keep doing what you are so good at -- I'm finding your videos most informative, and other local/SA fishos are agreeing with me.
Thanks for the lovely feedback! We are glad that our videos are useful in the way we intended. Most of that top area of Yorkes has steep steps to negotiate to reach the water. We have not explored from Corney Point across to Point Turton yet so cant help much there. I think Flaherty's Beach is flat but not sure what the fishing is like there. We have driven onto the beach at Corney Point which was easy access but difficult to catch fish! We focused on the bottom end of Yorkes and can reccommend Marion Bay for easy access, and Dolphin Bay and Shell Beach only have a few stairs to deal with. Butlers Beach in Hillocks Drive is ok too but sand can be soft. Awesome fishing though! Hope that helps. Also the Innes National Park is just stunning to drive around -I was so surprised.
Oh the excitement and thrill you get when you see that school of salmon!!Amazing Linda and Martin 😄 Maybe with future salmon schools have fun with a lure! Cast and throw back all day long 🐟
May be it's time you guys elevate yourself to the next level, get yourself a proper surf rob and start to go after the jewel of surf fishing; the mighty Mulloway! Best bait is big slab of flesh Salmon, and even whole Pilchard work sometime provided they are not steal by smaller competing species like Salmon. Believe me you will know when you are onto one! Naturally you will not get as many hit with the Mulloway, but when you get one eventually, it's all worth it. And of course nothing stopping you fishing for other species while you are waiting for the Mulloway. Tight lines.....!
@@fishingsister Good luck. The timing to set the hook when you have a run is crucial in hooking up a Mulloway; all come from experience! Landing it should not be much a problem in open surf water; but patience is important and setting the drag correctly is the key as you can not just simply muscle it in directly like you did with smaller species! 😄
Ok, good to know. So is the trick to set the drag a little loose so the fish can swim with the bait for a while, before starting to reel it in? And not to heave on the line when I feel the bite?
@@fishingsister I assume you have the rod on rod holder..well then the initial drag setting should be lose enough so that the fish don't feel too much resistance when it picks up the bait for the run; the surf condition also dictate the drag setting. No, you don't heave the line immediately when you detect a bite; this will yank the bait from its mouth...! You only heave (i.e setting the hook) when it is a positive run, hard to say how long, as some fish could pick up the bait and drop it within a few seconds, then it is not "positive run" as such...! The other thing, before you setting the hook, you will need either tighten up the drag first or holding the spool with your hand while heaving the line, and then tighten up the drag after to hook is set; this is because you have set the drag to lose at the beginning, yanking the rod with a lose drag not only will not set the hook and you will have the line spilling out of the pool and end up in a big mess; talking from bitter experience....! Look, you will miss a few before you get the hang of it, live and learn kind of thing.
This was a great morning, 2 big fish off a beautiful beach. If you are in the area remember morning or late afternoon is your best bet for salmon....

Oh and I forgot to mention Pondalowie Bay. That is a top spot that is easy to access and the fishing is good off the beach or the rocky area
Well done guys!
Thanks...it was heaps of fun.
Amazing great work
Thank you so much 😀
Congratulations on hitting 1k subscribers!!!!
Thank you❤️

I am definitely going to try the lures when we go to Browns Beach next week. I have not had any luck with them but just need practice I reckon :)
Absolutely! Salmon are the best to start off with lures! Looking forward to more videos!
Nice catch!
Thanks Kevin!
Well done. Salmon are always fun to catch. Good fighters 👍
Thanks! They are soo much fun..and good eating too :)
Big fish
Nice work. The early bird gets the worm. That crumbed salmon looked awesome 👌

Totally agree! We are going to spend winter in Eyre Peninsula so catching a mulloway is on the wish list :)
