 If you make the extra slog down to Albany/ Cheynes, it wont be a fizzer.

 Few schools passing by in Albany over the last 2 weeks. Should be a good season but once again if they go around the cape or not is another story.

My guess

is because we have moved back into an El Nino cycle after a few years of La Nina the Salmon should resume a 'normal' run up the coast.

There were a few around last year but nothing like we would normally expect.

Reports should start coming through from the South coast by Jan and if it's a 'normal' season we will start seeing them passing Cape Leeuwin by late Feb.

Fingers crossed

Mat Miller is right, this

Sat, 2012-12-01 11:45

Mat Miller is right, this season/year will be a great salmon run as the El nino cycle ruining the leeuwin current, this will mean a  normal, or way better than normal year/season for salmon. BUT this also means a huge reduction in tropical pelagics such as mackeral, whaoo, and marlin, sailfish.  We will be lucky to see 10 sailfish/marlin landed this summer i reckon. But i could be wrong. What i do know is it will be a good year for salmon , and a bad year for trolling, well not bad, just no where near as amazing as last year.

Fishing and catching are two different things. But i want to learn how to catch.

10? Bwahaha, I wish!

Chat with the PGFC and I think you will find that, apart from the last two years, there probably where less than half a dozen marlin raised in the previous decade.
