[ray henry]

over the long week end while fishing for hair tail 'in cowan creek a surprise visitor / ia tap tap tap ,thinking it was another baby hait tail i held off striking /then tap tap bang over goes rod bent unlike the other times ;arrrrr maybe at last could it be a 6 or seven footer /after a short run and a tight drag up he comes on board in the dark .cries of its a rat kingie /no its a fat mullet / no its a salmon who thinks hes a hair tail 'quite a nice change from baby hair tails /but i was wishing it was a full grown 7 footer /all small hair tail were released except for damaged one that were b.b.q ed the next morn .ing .the salmon went about 5 to 6 pound cheers ray

My friend caught a lost Salmon past Spencer, the poor thing was anorexic! Was the weirdest looking Salmon, had the biggest head and the body was tiny. He was hitting every pilchard they casted until his luck ran out.
