FIRST CATCH FOR "SALMON ANDY"
SHERBS and I decided to visit a local beach to try our luck with the resident school of salmon.
This young fellow, who later identified himself as Andy from Thailand, decided to stop and watch Sherbs in action and son had the thrill of his life when Steve hoked him up with a nice little salmon. It was the first fish he had ever caught and he was really happy.
Good onya Sherbs for introducing the joys of fishing to another young bloke.
As for ourselves, the salmon hunting was hampered by some local swimmers and surfers who decided that where we wanted to fish was the best place to be - deespite there being no waves.
They finally moved on when the sun set and we managed to finally get into some fish.
Sherbs picked up a nice little flatty, a rock cod and a small bream.
I eventually got my mojo back and picked up a pair of small tailor and a herring. Interestingly, the herring swam past my bait and grabbed the "popper" on a surf popper rig.
It was a beautiful evening, with just enough sea breeze to make it interesting.
All the best, Colin Hay

I was casting my big beach rod
When my flick rod went off and ended up in the sand, So this guy was standing next to me and had not said a word,
So i said pick it up and reel the fish in, But not knowing he had not ever hooked a fish befor.
So after that i cleaned the fish, I offer it to him, But he said no i cant cook
So in the end this guy andy was over the moon with hooking his first fish
