Fishing In New Zealand

Yesterday, the boys went fishing. I wasn't there, but I was told that it was quite an operation. They put a long line in - a 1km line with 25 hooks on it. They tied the end of the line to the kayak, and Josh paddled out a km. They drop the line with a weight, kayak back in while leaving the line out there for an hour, and then pull it in. Fortunately for us, they came home with a couple good-sized snapper that fed 6 people. Nic cooked it up in foil with lemon, garlic, and some mixed herbs.....and after a short trip to the fish 'n chip shop to pick up 4 scoops (translation - a large amount of fries).....we had ourselves quite a dinner. Nothing like fresh fish just caught out of the Pacific Ocean.
