To end the year 2009, we went out on a fishing trip. Got a boat with a group of other people out to Whale Island, off whakatane, and were shown some little tips on how to catch some nice big fish and we were away! Kirsty got the ball rolling catching one the minute she put her line in the sea (first person on the boat), then Steve (Kirstys dad) was showing us all hows it done...we lost count of how many he caught!

As for me, it wasnt really happening...or so everyone thought, i was just holding out for the big one! or should i say big two! When reeling them in they managed to get caught in a few peoples lines too!

To make the day even better we saw a few dolphins around the boat too!

A good day to end the year on. That night we all went out into the town, watched some hillbilly type band and went back for our own little party! good times.
