I went down to the river mouth in Mandurah to catch some herring today. It has been 6 or 7 weeks since I fished there last time, and I was still catching some estuary salmon back then.
According to my friend, salmon has gone from the estuary since, but he told me he has been catching many herring in the river for the past few weeks.
I got down there in the late afternoon today, and soon realized that the tide has changed a lot while I was away. The tide was now reversed, and I couldn't find any fish where I was catching fish last time, and it took me while to figure out where fish were.
I eventually found schools around the deep water, and I started hooking up fish. I hooked up ten or so, I think, but I kept dropping them as they jumped out of water. It was frustrating watching fish throwing a hook away at a rod tip. I was still able to land some though, and I kept a few for our dinner plate tomorrow.
