Good work young bloke, you need to learn some knots if you're getting busted off on 30lb!!

 I'm with Gilly, you guys jumped to conclusions re; getting busted off by a salmon, but it was on the pylons not on a beach. Give the young bloke a go. Don't beat him down about his technique.

 Holding the rod tip vertical landing a fish from a jetty is a great way to snap the tip of a rod off.

Well done mate your in some serious form in the last couple of months, I lost what I imagine was a 40-50cm or so skippy there on light gear right at the end it is a very hard area to fish trying to find the balance how much pressure to put on, I went with not enough pressure and it was game over for me around the pylons!

I would hate to see what a 7kg salmon could do around those plyons!

I caught about 6 or so around 30cm, on half mulies, I then decided to float down a full mulie bad idea on the gear I was using.
