Headed up North Avalon to visit family yesterday and my son and I took a rood each to a flick off the beach. We hit the beach in the early arvo and worked our way up through various gutters, my son with a small metal and I was using a soft vibe hoping for a flatty in the gutter. Right where the swimmers were, I spotted a school of what I thought was about 50 salmon in the breaking waves. I switched over to a small metal and tried casting to the side of the school but they kept disappearing and reappearing 50m up and down the beach. I was also getting the hairy eyeball froma few simmers as I was casting in between them😄. I got a few hits then finally hooked a fish and it came up the beach flapping away. My son grabbed it as it spat the metal and to our surprise it was a fat mullet! After reading some recent posts I decided to keep it and dispatched it on the beach. Fillets are ready to go for a meal this week:) Unusual catch on a metal! Maybe I should have hung around until dark and lobbed out a fillet🤔
