Wow!! IF YOU WANT TO GO SEA FISHING YOU HAVE TO GO WITH CAPTAIN NICK!!!

So we turned up to a pretty chilly and windy meeting spot, thinking why hasn’t this been postponed to another day, surely we can’t got out in this weather.
How wrong we were. Captain Nick arrived early assured us we would be fine and we would be fishing the river and not going out to the ocean, but he was pretty sure we would still catch some fish.
When we started fishing within the 1st half hour we had caught 2 huge fish , the rest of the afternoon was spent tracking fish and catching them.
Captain Nick and his mate answered all questions that were asked of them, their knowledge of the area and their love of fishing was clearly evident.
They made this fishing trip, one that a 12 year old kid from England will remember forever.
Thankyou Captain Nick for the experience
