    Ok. I'll give them a crack. If I don't like them I'm sure they will make great burley. I have 2 ice cream containers of them.
    Maybe try smoking some too.

    How about stick a needle in cotton through each one and make a necklace for the Mrs.

    Has anybody here had a cast into the Beachlands bay. Going to chuck a line in off the beach behind a house I'm minding to the West of the wharf at the weekend.

    A fat salmon from the canals last week. Not pretty but very tasty.

    Fishing was good. Landed 4 brown trout, 3 rainbows and 11 salmon. All but one of the salmon were between 6 and 12lb.

    Out of interest what lures are you casting? Tried any smaller stick baits?

    Funny you should say that @Gibo. The last two fish I caught (a brown and a nice salmon) were on a stick. First time I had tried one. The others were caught 50/50 on soft baits and sliver spoons. Fishing was pretty hot and cold. 3 fish in a couple of hours then nothing for half a day.

    I thought all the rain of late and quite a bit of a drop in water temp and clarity in the last couple of weeks might have put off the flounder a bit but no.
    Still catching very well thanks.



    Happy Neighbors today
