The Minstrel

Today we had a visit from the Minstrel - something we'd been looking forward to for ages!  Using his guitar and awesome sense of humour, he gave us some important messages related to fishing:

• only take fish that are the right size - not the ones that are too small (give them a chance to live!), or the really big ones (they are the breeding stock)
• if you are returning a fish to the water, do it carefully
• make sure you handle fish with a wet towel
• place fish on salted ice if you want them to taste 100% delicious
• keep sea birds away from your boat by squirting them with a water pistol
• always wear a life jacket
• keep rubbish out of the ocean
