The Blue Threadfin Salmon

 Catching a Blue Threadfin Salmon

Using live prawns or small fish may prove useful around creek mouths on a high but falling tide. Minnow and spoon lures or bushy saltwater flies can also be used with success in the shallows.

Tackle

Use medium tackle with 10kg main line with 30cm wire trace rated at around 20kgs. Use No. 6/0 to 8/0 ganged hooks

Bait

Live Prawns, Garfish, Herring and Poddy mullet
