A quick flick for salmon

Recommended Posts

Took my youngest daughter that doesn't normally fish for a quick flick up the beach. Found three patches of fish, funny enough the first one seemed to have fish all about the 1.5 kg size and the second 3kg+ and the last and biggest school all seemed to be around the 2k mark. 

Tackle was a little travel rod I purchased for a trip up north that didn't happen. Light braid and 40g lures flicked at the back of any washy deep gutters was the usual hunting ground. After catch and releasing several fish my daughter hooked into what seemed like a very solid fish. Each time she gained line she would almost instantly lose it again, this went on for over 10 mins before she eventually dragged a tail hooked thumper onto the sand. After ten or more fish we headed home to turn one into fish cakes.

Great work, lovely blue sky would have been a great day for it

Don't get the wrong impression, my girls can be very difficult at times. I just pull the camera out quickly when they accept my existance 😂
