Mordialloc Pier

Date: 8 Sept 18
Weather: Fine and 18
Crew: Toon, Jax & Millie
Target Fish: Salmon 
Bait: - Metal slugs (bumpa-bar 25g, halco twisty 25g) 
Gear Used: Fishing rods. 
Catch: 0
Report: Jax again bugging me that we havent been fishing for ages, so needed to wet a line! Checked out MetEye and the bay was calm so took the fam down to Mordialloc pier hoping to cast into schools of salmon swimming up and down the pier. Got some hot chips, walked to the pier and starting casting some lines into the water. No salmon schools were in sight today though. Some decent sized bait balls around and birds diving into get them, but no salmon around. Very nice relaxing session with the fam.  
Report: 8/10 Perfect day for practicing casting. Jax has figured it out, but his $10 anaconda reel is a piece of shit.

Weather: Sunny and 31

Target Fish: Salmon

Gear Used: Fishing rods. 
Catch: 0
Report: Jax has been bugging me to go fishing again, good on him! So had to go on what was an awesome day. Was planning on just him and I, but lisa and the other 2 wanted to join so the whole family went. Girls did girls things, and Jax and I went fishing. Fishing didnt last too long as the kids got tired, so had to pack up after about 40 minutes of fishing which sucked as the action was just starting to hot up. Big school of salmon swam up the pier, and gars were everywhere just as we had to go. I did manage to cast my lure into some snag of line, and i had to jump into the water and swim out to retrieve it. Water was pristine, calm, blue, warm and just beautiful. That pier is fun to fish at because of all the boat activity and regular sightings of salmon schools to cast into.  
Report: 5/10 - if only we were there for another 3 hours!
