    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Not for us. Talking to the odd local they have not heard of any this year either.

    Cod and gurnard were there and plentiful tho.
    Talking to one other fella he seemed to think most snapper were caught closer to Picton and Waikawa.

    If you want to get snapper on a rod bring lots of burly and pilchards!

    There is a small camp store at the bay, but you are probably best to buy in Nelson just in case. It will be fine in a chilly bin for the drive out to Okiwi. Our beers never get warm

    I will txt you on where best to get both.

    Looking at heading up very early on Friday morning. Drove the road last week and decided I will never do that again. Traffic and road works were insane.
