Furthermore we got to the floundering spot and in the first 5 minutes or so my dad had already caught 3 and I caught 1. I was really frustrated because most of the time I just heard my dad say "Got one, son come and shine your torch on the flounder so I can put it through the rope." I was so angry at myself because it took so long for me to catch one. After that I had got the hang of finding flounder quick. Then I turned angry to really happy.
At the end I ended up catching 15, my dad caught 37 and my poppa caught 9. Here are some photos of the day.
What a fabulous experience Ajani. I bet you enjoyed eating them too. I wonder where you went? We occasionally see people floundering late at night in the Tamaki estuary. Today we are going fishing and I'm hoping my family get me scallops for dinner.

Hello Ajani!
ReplyDeleteI'm Mark, one of the teachers working on the Summer Learning Journey programme you signed up for at the end of term. It is great to see you online and blogging! And what a cool experience! I haven't been night fishing since I was overseas and I didn't catch anything except a crab!
I hope you remember that our programme is about blogging too. I've already tried to get you on board once, so if you're still not keen then that's alright. If you can't find the link however, then here it is below!

This is where you can start reading about the activities you can do. Quite a few people from your school are well on the way to earning points and prizes. I'll come back and check if you've started one day, but if not, then have a great holiday!
