Easter Holiday

Yesterday, me and my dad went out fishing for hapuka. Hapuka is a big fish that lives out in the deep sea. It is black and brown. The hapuku eyes come out when they get too close to the surface. They look very ugly but they are delicious eating fish.

Firstly, me and my dad got our new boat ready to go. This driver was going fast, slow, fast, slow until we got to Matauri Bay. As we got to the boat ramp we started putting up rods and getting ready.  Dad was back in the boat while I was holding it so it didn't float away. It was very easy because it was on water and not and on land.

Secondly, me and my dad started heading out. it was as flat as a pancake out there but as we got further out it started getting a little choppy. When we got a real long way out the water dropped to about 460 metres .
