My fishing at Marlborough sounds

The first day

A couple weeks ago I went on holiday to the Marlborough sounds with my dad my friend Ben W from St Andrews school in Christchurch. He also was with his dad and some of his dad's friends his friends supplied us with a place to sleep.(they had a incredible 2 story batch)it was around 7 ours of driving i was so bored but the wait was all worth it as Dad and I got there we met up with Ben Andrew and his two friends ( the people letting us stay at the batch ) We all loaded up some gear onto the boat. ( our boat from christmas ) Like fishing gear and jackets because we were going to do alot  of fishing. The next thing we did was get the boat in the water. Andrew drove the car and lowed the boat in while the others and I were on the boat so we could get it to a dock and wait for him to park the car and come over and hop on. When he did get on we set off for a good fishing spot one off the friends was really good at finding fishing spots, until we got there was pretty boring the only thing that happened was the other friend threw up! As we arrived, Ben Andrew the two friends and I were setting up the fishing-rods and cutting the bait up. After we had set everything up it was time to lower the fishing rods into the water. mine was in first and i was really nervous because it was my first time fishing so my dad held it for the first couple minutes then i decided i would hold it. In the first 5 minutes i caught my first fish! but in disappointment it was a baby cod, but at least i caught a fish.

The second day
The next day was a bit deferent. We got the boat was in the water and  were traveling to the next spot.
it took a while but we finally got there and once a gain my fishing rod was in the water first. We were about to give up because it had been around 30 minutes of fishing and we were only getting sharks and loads of baby Cod but... when while the other had given up i got a huge bite then one of the friends did to and then Andrew i hooked the fish and started reeling it up it was pulling hard in what seemed like an eternity i finally pulled it up. It was a giant blue cod it was 33 centermeters and was going crazey flopping around, like a fish would i was amazed it was my second fish i also ate it for dinner that about all the fishing i did at the Marlborough Sounds.
