    Also available if anyone needs a decky (wont have my boat fishing gear with me on this trip) or flounder net dragger or spearing. I assume winter fishing not as productive as summer from off the beaches?

    Cheers FBD
    Hope to catch up this time.
    No, the winter beach fishing is average at best if you want the usual species for the table. Plenty of sharky type things around though.
    Happy to loan you a decent fishing kayak and rod etc

    Come on down, yeah pretty quite down these ways ..worth chucking some metal for Kahawai, can loan you a yak and rod life jacket wetsuit bottoms for a paddle..

    Flounder dragging is still a go..just need less rain and taller crew. Eh @ROKTOY

    Sport about done ….so PM / post up dates when your about maybe a crew heading for the “island “ and / or we can have a get together with fishing folks.

    Can take you for a shore based cod bash most days , not exactly exciting but the trip away is pretty cool!

    Trout fishing …lakes are open but slow fishing, tidal rivers are also open but water levels / clarity make for challenging conditions..have got a spin set plus shiny things may be a better option..up to yourself

    Awesome Fella's thanks for the reply's and offers of gear. We are down from this Sunday for about 3 weeks, I normally work Monday to Thursday in the Afternoons but can shift things around to get a day/night off here and there.

    Maybe even a beer at a local one afternoon / night and we can talk about the fish/deer/pigs that got away and best hunting dogs and if even a 223 can drop a deer

    Bummer that I am a short bugger so sorry cant take the deep end on the drags.... honest 6'2" is short aye...

    @Fat belly Dog.

    When these rivers clear up I reckon its definitely worth a flick with the trout gear near the mouths. Shouldn't be far away from some bait so usually a few sea runners about.

    Mot river down stream of the bridge, western side, easy travel plenty of good casting. Seen some nice silver ones this time of year.

    Mouth of the rewaka is worth a cast.

    Aorere if you are in golden bay
