Its a beach launch but the sand is pretty solid plus due to Kapiti Island been in the way of the swell most of the time is fairly calm. I only started fishing really earlier this year however I am amazed how many fish there are out here, especially I was surprised about the number of Snapper. I didn't even think Snapper would be out here of our own door step and let alone catching them on the beach ( when i mean beach i'm talking about sandy bottom, theres also a tonne of reef to be fished around Kapiti Island ). A mate of mine I saw just before we were about to launch on that day he had just got 2 king fish (released), a couple of large Tarakihi and I think some Gurnards... They didn't have any Snapper luck.... i'm so happy however to see a lot of bird activity and also small schools of bait fish. I would think the waters in wellington maybe a bit cooler so might take a bit longer for the Snapper to migrate down that way.

Just not sure how it will be launching my boat up there, But i have a 4 wheel drive so maybe could launch it at the beach? Any ideas? well done mate
