Eastern Beach

Pa's Salmon

Pa in action

Day 29 - Lovely day again today thank goodness.  We went next door to the Servo to get our Fishing Licences.  Cost us $12 each for 2 days.  Came back to the cabin, packed lunch got our gear and headed out to the beach with Salmon in mind.  It was beautiful out there again today.  On the walkway out to the beach a lady started talking to us.  She was from the Latrobe Valley and told us that there is a lot of static electricity down there and the only way to get rid of the static was to either bury yourself in sand or go for a swim in the salt water.  She opted for a swim. I'm sure she was a greenie.  (Told you we meet all types on the road) I think I would rather have been buried because the water is freezing down here.  We fished a gutter we had seen yesterday with no luck.  Pa shifted down the beach a bit further and started getting bites then next thing  wound in a beautiful Salmon.  They are a really strong fish.  Pa was pretty proud of himself.  His first Salmon and first Victorian fish. I wasn't lucky today but had lots of fun trying.  We had lunch there and headed home after that.  One fish was enough for us for a good feed.  We called into the fish shop and got a kilo of green prawns and cooked half of them in Teriyaki sauce and had that with the pan fried lemon pepper salmon and wedges (oven fried of course). Yummy.
