We set off up North on Saturday with Dan & Sarah to Waipu ('coz you have to!) and hit Waipu cove to catch some fish. As someone whose a bit squirmish, I wasn't sure what i'd make of it but after catching my first fish on my first cast, i was hooked!! We spent a good half hour shouting "fish on!" as we hooked some little Kahawai and we let them go in anticipation of catching a big un to cook for tea. Realising the big fish must have scarpered, we decided to head to the campsite - Uretiti (even at 31 i still like to giggle at this!) and set up camp whilst it was still light.
At dusk, we ventured on to the golden sands where Rob and Dan tried their hand at Surf Casting in a last attempt to catch "the big one". It was amusing to watch as they waded in to the sea, teashirts rolled up in to belly tops and watching them hop out of the sea as the waves hit the CDP (critical depth point!) Unfortunately no amount of dancing around by the boys was attracting the fish, so we cut our losses and went to the pub for tea!

We woke to another beautiful sunny day on Sunday, enjoyed the best muffin ever for breakfast (peach, pinapple and rasberry) whilst having a brew on the beach. Sarah and I went for a refreshing swim whilst the boys decided to try their new bigger lures to catch some bigger fish. It was a great afternoon chilling in the sun and hanging out on the beach, even if we didnt catch anything. As we called it a day, Dan and Sarah hit the road to Aukland whilst Rob and I headed north to The Bay of Islands to explore more of the Northland.
