Hey guys

I just got back from what would have to be, two of the most amazing weeks of my life. I just spent it in the North Island of New Zealand and even though i only went fishing twice, i had so much fun, and i was with an amazing group of people from my sisters softball team. Everyone had a blast and i've rebooked for the next trip in 2 years.

I done so much in the 2 weeks, it was flat out everyday from 7-5. We started in Auckland, moved our way to Rotoura, then to Lake Taupo, then to the Bay Of Plenty, then all the way back to Auckland to fly home.

With over 1000 photos, i'll show some of my favorite.

This is the view from the Auckland Sky Tower, not bad for one of the first photos taken with my dads new DSLR camera.



There were massive Trout in many places, talk about a tease



And sometimes i just wish i had bought my fly rod along



Lake Rotorua in all it's glory (besides the f%$king stink haha)



One of the biggest rays i have ever seen in a tank !



Lake Taupo was beautiful, day, night, sunny, overcast, it always looked like magic.



Guessing this is the name of there Blackfish over there ?

We went on a Charter fishing the Bay Of Plenty, was out there the day that ship on the news tonight got stuck on the reef.

The boat was beautiful



We got over 10 of these things called Tarakihi, i think there the same as our Morwong ?





We got some Snapper, some just over legal, some just under, and the highlight was this big Baracuda, didn't eat it the fight was awesome, he ended up getting tangled around someone elses line on the surface and the bastard birds started attacking it and eating it ! haha



Got a Blue COD



And a Red COD



Went to many Pine Forrest



And got a beautiful view from Mt Eden



Had fun in the snow

Overcame my fear of heights



And even went bowling haha



Seen the cutest baby Lion



And went to the Prawn Park and caught a Prawn, different hey ?



Anyway that's just a quick overview of my holiday. I don't think i'd be able to go into detail to much, i'd be here all night !

Might post some other photos up soon, got to sort them out first, even got a few new videos.

Hope you enjoyed smile.gif
