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!

 Well done on his first salmon.

Grandson got his first last week at Hamelin Bay and he was pretty chuffed as well but not anywhere as happy as winning junior angler at Gamex a few weeks before
