After sharing a few tall fishing stories with my friend, I told him about the time when I was a 10-year-old kid walking along Takapuna Beach after fishing off the rocks with a mate. We hadn’t caught anything, so for fun we put a bit of bait on our hooks and dragged the line along the beach to see if we could catch a seagull.
Well, did we ever get a telling off. An old fella yelled at us and told us to stop immediately. He went on about cruelty to animals and the like. So, we stopped and went home empty-handed with neither a fish nor a seagull. At the time I didn’t really think I was doing anything particularly cruel or egregious.
