We drove to Omokoroa Beach from Tauranga. The drive was about 15 minutes. Tauranga is the most populous city of The Bay of Plenty Region.
Omokoroa is a small coastal community. It boasts of a pristine beach and beautiful views.. It has a wharf that was built in 1909. The wharf is a favorite place for fishing and is also used as the main channel for the residents of The Matakana Island to Omokoroa. The Matakana Barge that ferries people and cars alike leave many times a day from the wharf. They have a water taxi also for the people.
The place offers a white sand beach and a park where kids can play. It's no wonder why people go there during weekends and holidays
Zenaida my friend, and I started to fish. We brought our baits which were mussels and fish. We had to slice our bait into very small pieces. Zenaida said that we don't need to use sinkers. After hooking baits into our fishing rods, we cast our fishing poles. I guess it was just seconds when I felt a bite. I pulled my pole and in it was a fish hanging. It was a piper!
Pipers belong to the halfbeaks family. They live close to the surface and their average size range from 20 to 25 cm. Pipers are used as food or baits.
A lucky angler was able to catch a kingfisher that time. Zenaida and I had to be contented with the pipers we caught.
