Blue Beast

Day 2:

Everyone was excited to go to Mantaray Bay to try and find George the ginormous blue beast, but first we stopped for a quick fish.

As we pulled up to the spot everyone drop their lines and immediately got bites, but they were all little fish. After fishing for half an hour, and only getting little bites, Dad ended up getting a Tricky Snapper, and a nannygai in 2 drops.

After fishing, we pulled into Mantaray Bay searching for George, the Ginormous Māori Wrasse. We were greeted by Batfish which we fed and patted while Dad cleaned the fish.
After eating all the fish, we moved to a different mooring, and instantly George appeared. After spotting him in the water, everyone rushed to get pilchards and their snorkels, so we could jump in. I was a bit scared, but I jumped in anyway and fed him straight away. We swim with George for over an hour feeding him and the GT.

After fishing and swimming with George, this was one of my favourite days yet, but we still had five more to go.Read more
