My holiday
My holiday
W.A.L.T Write about our holiday.
Two weeks ago I went fishing with my dad my brother and my cousin we went to North Cape we jigged all the way up to North Cape but got nothing so we went for a dive to get some crayfish it was hard but I finally got my first one I was very happy and took it straight to the boat after a little bit more diving everyone was starting to get a bit cold so we started heading home on the way we stopped at a few good snapper spots the first fish we caught was the one I caught which was a 19.96 pounder I was bummed that it wasn't 20 pounds but I've already caught a 20 pounder before so it didn't matter that much we filled up the bin with a few decent sized fish. Everyone caught a fish that day we were very happy and went home With a bin full of snapper and some crayfish.

My actions
My actions
W.A.L.T reduce reuse recycle.
My actions can be too stop people catching small fish by saying no even if they say yes. Another thing I can do is every time I go for a walk on the beach pick up all the rubbish I see to stop it getting in the ocean and before it's too late. I can also make sure all sea animals and land animals are safe from fishing nets and pollution. Sometimes the littlest of things can make the biggest of differences if everyone does them. Also you can get solar panels to save electricity and power.
