My holiday

 Scotts Point Adventure

Vroom! Went the truck as we sped down the sandy beach. With fishing rods, bait and tackle box on board we were all set for the long drive to the end of 90 Mile Beach. The rough water crashed onto the salty shore sending a loud boom across the empty beach. An hour had passed since we had first started the drive, and finally the large jagged shape of Scotts Point had started to come into view.

Once we had arrived at our destination I leapt out of the truck onto the soft damp sand. The sun shone onto the clear ocean making it sparkle like a diamond. I looked around in wonder at the majestic cliffs and the sparkling ocean, this moment was too good to pass. Suddenly my peace was broken by our two crazy dogs rampaging around the beach. Their loud barks echoed around the walls of the towering cliffs. Once everybody was out of the truck we grabbed all the gear we could carry and started the walk to our fishing spot.

After a short walk over the barnacle covered rocks we made it to our spot. The waves washed in and out of the rockpools causing the seaweed to sway in the current.I got myself settled, stuck some bait onto my hook and cast my line far into the sea. After a while I started to get bored. Aimlessly staring at a rod waiting for a fish to grab my bait really drains my attention span, so I packed away my rod and went searching for something to do.  

As I looked through the little pools of water I started to notice small fish darting in and out of the bull kelp which gave me an idea. I ran back over the rocks to grab the handline. I spent the rest of my day catching and releasing fish while all the adults stayed and fished.

As the sun set over the beach we all started to get tired. With no fish in the bag and empty stomachs we were all ready to go home. Even though we had no fish it was still a great adventure.
