Proud of my son

Took my 17 year old son out for a surfcast today at aotea harbour which is a nice easy area to fish for someone learning to cast as it has deep water in close, let him loose with the penn prevail and 850ssm and he had the first fish on the beach which was nice sized kahawai which was his first fish that was not the size of a sprat. Needless to say he is now very keen to get out for another go. On the flip side I caught three pan sized west coast snapper on the veritas so I too was a happy camper so it is pan fried snapper and kahawai for dinner tonight.

What a great start. Coming into the sport at 17 he will have plenty of fishing chances ahead. Go get em!

The snapper don't know where the car park is!
Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

Thanks for the encouraging messages guys he is already thinking about the next trip out surfcasting, when I was his age I had no one around to teach me so I just used to go out and give it a go anyway wasn't till I started watching early fishing videos from folks like geoff thomas and bill hohepa and also reading NZFN articles and one book I bought on LBG fishing which from memory was written by Gary (I loaned that book out to a so called mate and never got it back) that I really started to catch fish.
