Netting. 28.12.2019
We set the net with some friends, we didn’t catch many fish though so we decided to leave it in overnight….I probably won’t do that again!
I went down to check the net first thing in the morning and it had tonnes of fish in it! There were heaps of mullet two yellow eye, one kahawai and a parore, it took me TWO HOURS to clear the net then pack it up! The water was only knee deep which was good because it was cold!
I loaded some into a 20ltr bucket and got some flax to make strings for the rest, then I lugged them all up the hill to our house.
I called our friends to help us deal with them and started to get them ready for the big smoker, we split the fish and washed them then put brown sugar and salt on them and put them in the smoker, they smoked for 5 hours and they were ready.
We gave lots away to our friends and the neighbors, we gave some to Nan and uncle John, there were lots!
They were very yummy smoked fish, some of them had big fat roes, they are the best!
Mmmmm! Smoked mullet.

I had a nice Christmas day, Mum and I got up and I opened my presents, I got a cool blue teeshirt, some chocolate and bickies, a silk pillow case and some fishing arrows and tips.
We went to Paua for lunch and spent some time with Nan, it was nice. Then we came home and went bow fishing. It was great fun, Mum had to hold onto the little rod (I don’t have a propper bow-reel yet) while I shot the fish, it was fun! I shot three mullet but one got away…grrrr, we brought the fish home and I smoked one for dinner, I was going to take a picture of the finished fish but I forgot and we ate it, sorry! But it tasted GREAT! 😀
My first fish caught with a bow and arrow!
