mine was on the friday of waitangi weekend. I had just arrived in Opotiki, having driven from Tolaga. Kids were grumpy, i couldnt wait to get to the beach!(as soon as i get to Opotiki the kids always become fishing orphans)I arrived at 4.45pm right on high tide, cast my rod out and crouched down to make another trace when i heard my rod go off, reeled it in, a beaut snapper, followed by a trevally then 8 more nice snappers and to top it off, what i thought was the fish of my life (cos id never caught one before) a stingray, the size of two bed pillows. Boy my arms were burning after that. It was amazing, and my Mum and Dad, keen fisher people aswell couldnt believe it. I have a pic of the first two fish that i took on my phone which then ran out of battery. (took with my jandals to indicate size my feet are ladies size 9) My uncle did take one on his phone but STILL hasnt emailled it to me!! I
