I fished the rock wall today, with a hope of big Snapper or Gummy sharks, not to be today -

A big ship was escorted out of the harbour by the Tug boat's -

I hooked a big fish earlier that busted me up on the rocks, then again i got a hookup & got a decent Port Jackson Shark 'Released' -

I hooked a solid Australian Salmon of 2kg, this fish fought hard, jumping out the water -

Caught on a Alvey 50 & Garry Howard Breambo rod with 4kg line -

Later i hooked another big Skate, i released this unharmed -

End of day i caught a few of Silver Whiting & little Yakka's, great bait for Snapper etc, also another hard fighting Aust Salmon -

These are large Melbourne Skate, very tough tail section 'like a saw'. So i grab the body or head area & release them back into the water, tough fighters also.

Good fun land based & very good fighters those Salmon, also the Silver Whiting are a good bait gathering exercise.

Indeed they are, you must take care.
