Salmon Hunter created!

 So my 11 year old nephew and myself went to Albany for a couple of days to try to get him onto his first salmon. He's caught herring and a few tailor but thas it. My sister in law doesn't have a lot of fishing knowledge and time so I offered to go for a run to Albany with him. ( and so I could get into them again...)

Went for drive this afternoon after setting up camp in the cabin to show him Shelly's beach-too windy. Went to the salmon holes and had a look down at the beach. Saw a few tails sticking out of the sand. Said to him, this is why you always bring rods when looking at spots. 

First cast with bait and he's on! Was a bit surprised on how much they can fight! Was only a couple of small ones to open the scoreboard but I think he may be hooked on getting bigger fish now!

 He'll be hooked now (no pun intended). The first time I got my wife onto a salmon she thought she had hooked a marlin! Wait until he gets onto a big one!
