Fishing

Everywhere we go in NZ we see fisherman. Of course there is a lot of coastline, and many rivers. Even the New Zealand Herald has a daily fishing calendar on its weather page. This sign was posted at the top of the steps down to a favourite fishing spot at Muriwai.



The fishermen go out on the rocks near the gannet colony, but it seems to me that they are flirting with danger. This photo was taken just after high tide, when the huge waves were still washing over the flat rock shelf.
