First taste of New Zealand fishing!



During the day we went for a real good trek...in the heat of the day someone was bound to get sun burnt! With no o-zone layer, hardly and pollution...and no sun cream on! Lewis ended up looking like a lobster...the back of my legs are pretty bad, but amazingly Lisa was the only one who didn't get burnt! With no fish caught we ended up trekking back home! With the golf course right by, we never realised that so many would end up in the sea! As the tide went out and walking along the beach, we found around 50 golf balls...in Lewis's eyes it was money making time, so we didn't leave a single one!

Once finally arriving in New Zealand and settling in...we managed to get out fishing!! Lisa and Lewis went out with Dan on Thursday evening, after the Red Snapper! Something finally went right on the trip and Dan put us on the fish instantly! We just didn't look back, and the bites and the fish just carried on coming! Fish and chips for tea!! How much more at home could we feel!!

After a good nights sleep in the tent with Oliver...Dan's son, I finally got a shot at going after the Red Snapper! Success again!! Smiles all around!! It was definitely worth it after waking up at 6.00am!
