Nice brisbane river threadfin salmon

[Thorbjorn Hale]

After this Arvos success at shark fishing I thought I might try my hand at some salmon fishing. I netted some big prawns and set the rods out. I managed to get a nice 95cm threadie that had pretty bad barotrauma and was hooked in the gills so he came home for dinner. I will take a picture of it next to something green when I fillet it tomorrow morning, so look out northsiders.

I know I haven’t really been. Catching anything these past few weeks and now I have been catching too many

Great thready @Thorbjorn Hale, if you want to start trying to release them you could try using a venting needle to pop their swim bladders.

Yeah I was looking into getting one of those because the part of the river I fish is particularly deep I think because even bream and stuff get barotrauma

Not sure there is such a thing as too many - unless your fridge, freezer and belly are full

That's just a younger generation thing Kat.

I reckon @GregOug and his hapless crew would argue he's catching too many ....... . Nice work @Thorbjorn Hale, on fire!!!
