Waiting for Whitebait – Jacobs River, South Westland

We load up the whitebait gear and travel to site

Almost time to wait for whitebait

The stands are lowered and secured in place

Almost time to wait for whitebait

The stand is ready and nets are set

we sit and wait for whitebait

We pace the stand, we enjoy the views

we sit and wait for whitebait

Cuppa tea time so boil the billy

we sit and wait for whitebait

A possible sighting, we lift the stands

we look we check for whitebait

Lower the stands again, check the water, enjoy the views

we sit we wait for whitebait

A friend visits we chew the fat and tell some stories

we look we wait for whitebait

The tide turns, we pack up for the day

tomorrow we’ll sit

tomorrow we’ll wait for whitebait
