F is for FISH, FAMILY & FUN!


Another high came across the country so we made the most of it!  Mum and Alan came for a lovely 2 days in the Bay of Islands, enjoying a sail out to a very calm and tranquil bay for the evening.  Craig even tried a spot of evening fishing but wasn’t successful this time.   Venturing to Indigo Bay, Urupukapuka Island we then enjoyed a day of walks, kayaking and playing ashore at one of the Bay Of Islands most tropical beaches.  Then it was a gentle geneka ride back to Paihia with a lovely surprise on the end of the lure!

My first ever kingfish, weighing 13.5kg (approx 30lb) – Craig has been trying to catch this one for years, and he did very well to restrain himself from taking the rod off me!
