Thread: Small boat fishing Paihia

It's a long way to the Nine Pin in a Mac360. On the seaward side of Roberton & the other islands is good & gives you the option to nip in behind the islands if the wind gets up. Around the Blacks Rocks or Capstan Rock is another option. Watch out if you get wind against tide it can get very choppy for a small boat coming around Tapeka Point. Make sure you know the rules for dolphins in the Bay, there's low speed zones & DOC will be out enforcing them.
