Not a true salmon — a hard-fighting schooling fish that smashes surf gutters, headlands and beaches around the southern coastline. Targeted with metal slugs, poppers and pilchard baits, especially in autumn schools. Better as a sport fish than a table fish; bleed and ice immediately if keeping.
Generally fished with light tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
