Mel and I went to Kiola and stayed at Parksie's beachhouse for the weekend. We were joined by Jake Snr (Mel's brother) and Claire and their friend Brooke "Hossie" Hosford. Of course it was a beautiful weekend and we took the opportunity to....wait for it......fish. Here's hossie's fish - a good sized Bream.
I caught an Australian Salmon (in NZ it is called a Kahwai). This was also a good sized one. The shot of me holding them in the kitchen was because the person with the digi cam left the beach so I had to take a shot after I had bled it. It gave a great fight including jumping out of the water twice to try and shake the hook.
We caught these fish and a couple of smaller ones at dusk on Pretty Beach (next to Kiola beach) just by slinging a line into the drink about 20 metres.
Check out the barbie with the fish. The Kahwai tasted very AVG which is no surprise as Dad always only ever used them as a bait fish for that reason but I had to learn it for myself. The Bream was excellent though.
