Fishing For Salmon



Sunday 23 September 2012 my mum, sister, Uncle and me went to the Anatoki  Salmon Farm just out of Takaka. My sister and I went fishing and if you catch a salmon you have to keep it. But before we went fishing we looked in the ponds. The ponds were about the size of the Stoke School swimming pool. In pond 1 there were approximately  35,000 salmon, in pond 2 there were approximately  10,000 salmon and finally in pond 3 there were  8,000 salmon. When we went fishing I had a bigger rode then older my sister. I caught the first salmon within about the 4th or 5th cast. I called my salmon Fred, Fredo or Freddy. My sister took forever to catch a salmon. In the end my sister used the rode I used and after awhile she caught a salmon. My sister's and my salmon altogether weighed about  2.1kgs.
