Will & Matt hit Salt Creek

Will & Matt picked the worst possible weekend ever to do an overnighter at Salt Creek / Coorong. The weather forecast was so bad I bailed on the trip - not a normal occurrence for me!

Heres the report from Will:

I think we all knew the weather was crappy :) When we got there it wasnt too bad. Found a wicked gutter that produced a 4.6kg snapper (78cm) on my first cast. Fished for about half an hour longer and the wind changed direction gaining about 100 knots. The grapple sinkers were getting washed up on the beach about 2 mins after casting. We slept the whole afternoon till about 6:30pm hoping the storm will calm down for a night fish, but it got even worse. We bailed at about 7 and headed to my house. The track on the way back was completely washed out and the waves were pushing up to the dunes. Hilux cruised over it all though and we made it out sweetly. Was heaps good fun still. Loving the snapper. Half of it fed 4 adults and a kid tonight for tea. Definitely very tasty, i take back what i said about salmon tasting better.



So, Will confirms himself as the luckiest, and most visible, fisherman alive...
