Just another day in Golden Bay. I had the morning off so took Benjamin and Helena to our local beach at Onekaka. The river mouth was full of schools of small whitebait type fish being chased by big kawahais. The chasing happened at the waters edge, right at our feet.
Within minutes Helena had hooked a big fish. It took Benjamin 20 minutes to land it as they are very strong and dont tire easily. I killed it, Jo cooked it and we all ate it.

This is the beach where we were fishing, looking out to sea, with the old iron works warf posts . It is impossible to think that one hundred or so years ago, this was a very busy warf with big ships off loading iron slacks. Quite different now, and often we were the only ones on the beach.

I'm sure your daughter felt so proud after catching that huge fish. Is that the only fish you managed to catch? Since you said that it just took her minutes to hook that big fish, I was thinking that it was a great fishing spot. I can feel that this place is special for all of you. Isn't that right? :)
