My awesome fishing trip

On Saturday 7th April 2018 I went to Opononi beach with my whole family, there was me, my mum, my dad, my brothers, my uncle and my nana. Firstly we got there around 12.00pm (Twelve O clock). The high tide was at 2.00pm (Two O clock) so we didn’t really have that much time. My mum said “We’ve only got 2 hours” OK so lets get our rods set up and get our lines into the water. A few minutes later we had started fishing, I had the smallest fishing rod it was a boat rod and my uncle had the biggest surf casting rod. So we did some fishing then i could hear someone calling my name “Chace check out this starfish that dad caught!” Hilton yelled... our dad caught a starfish. “Cool!” I replied.  After that my mum caught a starfish “Is it the same one that dad caught?” I asked. No Hilton replied it cant be they have caught them in two different places on the beach.
Then a few minutes later I started to get bored because nothing was happening and my bait was still sitting in the water. Then i felt something bite my bait and I pulled and it pulled too i started reeling it in, “I’ve got a fish” I thought to myself “Stand up Chace!” My mum yelled, you know it is kind of hard to hear people when the waves keep splashing loudly so we had to yell to actually hear each other. So I stood up and started reeling this fish in as fast as i could, my family could see I was struggling. I kept pulling, very hard, and I saw it, it was big and it was a Trevally! #OMG I caught a big Trevally, I think it was about 35 cm long. My nana was very proud of me she said i did a great job getting my fish onto the beach on my own. Not long after that my mother caught a Trevalley on the same rod, and then she caught a kahawai on her surf casting rod. My uncle caught a fish on his rod too his fish was a Kahawai so we caught 4 fish in total.
 This was my best fishing day out i cant wait till we go out again.

So in summary that was one of the best fishing trips that i’ve ever done, and i’ll never forget that time.
