Report: What a catch! Biggest haul on the tinny yet. After 18 whiting had to start throwing them back. Nice size salmon found our berley trail, 30cm - 650grams. After 1.5 hours decided to throw on a small metal lure(blue back) and try my luck. On the second cast pulled in a nice sized Snook much to my amazment. Few more casts later pulled in a second. Prior to casting I made sure there was a good berley stream.
Note: Berley seems to work well if it has been soaking in a bit of water, breaks up nicely when thrown in and creates a nice cloud of fish food. With the tuna oil mixed in you can't beat it.
