17/04/12 We parked up on a spare block at the entrance to Peaceful Bay. Walking down to the water, Mike could see fish chopping up, so he ran back to the car & grabbed his fishing rod. Just as we got closer to the waters edge(the water was crystal clear), fish were jumping out of the water, beaching themselves, trying to outrun the schools of Salmon chasing them. Whitebait, Tommy’s & Garfish were being chased by massive Salmon! We couldn’t believe our eyes! Garfish were walking on water!!! We were catching & releasing, it was unreal!!! People said they have been coming to Peaceful Bay for 35 years & never seen anything like it.
Kirsty tried to catch one but she couldn’t reel it in. It was funny. I even caught 2 myself. It was great fun, as they put up a good fight jumping out of the water, shaking around, it took some muscle to reel them in. Yes, they were all massive!
