Anyhoo, by the time we arrived Stu was ready to fish! I stayed back to stretch my legs with Bec and Amy while their better halves headed out with Stu.
The next day we made it to an amazing spot on the rocks of Gallipoli Beach (was the location for the movie). This beach is incredible and no-one else to be seen for miles. The girls rocked here with Amy bagging heaps of fish (she did have two hooks on her line, kind of cheating!), Bec pulling in some big ones and I also did pretty well with Whiting.

We then tried our hand at night time squiding. Big fat waste of time. I think we were in the wrong spot and not enough lights around. The next night we headed to Almonta Beach in the National Park.

Every morning this place is SWARMING with 5kg plus sized Australian Salmon. The boys had a blast fishing for these with the surf rods.

On our last day Amy and Ryan wanted to head home with a few Salmon and Whiting. I was the first to come good with a 2kg Salmon which nearly ripped my arm off! Good fun though.
We then headed to the "Brydens' Secret Spot". Every afternoon around 2:30pm there was a massive school of Salmon. It was so black and big it looked like seaweed. We took the peeps there on the last day and stayed for 5 hours, just pulling them in and chucking them back. It was on the rocks, fairly dangerous but someone was always on the look out for the big swell with a swift yell "WAVE!!!".
