Thread: Stewart island

Hey there all
Just back from Stewart island, had a great time ,five days in all and itching to go back again next year
Looking for a block that’s good for fishing from a tinny as well as hunting this time as a couple of the guys are keen as to fish , any recommendations would be appreciated.

Most of the Eastern coast blocks have sheltered access to the sea. Have been to several over the years and the fishing was superb as long as you had a tinny.

really enjoyed Chew Tobacco bay good fishing paua

Thanks Barry
How did you access it? Is it possible to access by water taxi from Oban

yes we went down on a charter boat and they left us the dinghy paua just around the corner at low tide hardly got feet wet

Last time I was a Chew Tobacco there were paua at the south end of the beach. Only a couple of hundred yards fom the hut.
That was twenty years ago though.
The Maori blocks have got very expensive now.
