We were served by this really nice old boy, who was missing a couple of fingers. He didn't even mock us as we openly said we didn't know how to wind the reel and we had also got the hook on wrong somehow.
We shot out to the Moteka beach to have a go at fishing. After 5 or 6 goes we figured out how to cast off!
With the first real launch... We got the weight stuck in the clay like sand. I sent Jack in! Jack had to wade up to his thighs to go pull our brand new rig out.
We also had trouble with the tide. Mainly that it was going out! So in five minuets of casting the line was in the wash!
Eventually we gave up and had a beer in the car!
We then drove over to do a pub quiz with our Judo team. We did pretty well finishing fourth out of 25. A lady on our team won the raffle and gave Jack and I her prize of a helicopter tour around mount Arthur!
