Salmon in the marina

 Dropped in to two rocks marina yesterday and my mate John was fishing off the back of his boat. Said he hooked a salmon earlier and it wrapped him around a pilon. His phone rang and while he was answering it i grabed the rod and gave the little twisty a mighty hurl to near the outlet of the cray shed. A couple of cranks later and i was on. Had an epic tussle on 6lb line with heaps of jumps and a good tail walk. Managed to keep him away from the structures and boats to land my first ever salmon.
