Fishing The Coast - Wellington, Paraparaumu, Raumati, Otaki, Mana, Pukerua Bay, Wairarapa, Castle Point, New Zealand.

We went fishing on Saturday at around 12pm just to see if the Snapper might have come in at Paraparaumu Beach. Having not done any fishing over Winter we were a bit rusty. We got our little Zodiac out and scrubbed it off. We headed out at Paraparaumu Beach and had a quick fish as [...]

We went out fishing a week or so back and managed to get 1 Snapper, 4 Kahawai, 1 Baracudda, 1 Gurnard, a few smaller Sharks and a couple of undersized blue cod – unfortunately I forgot the camera. It’s been a bit tough over the last week or so to get out due to the [...]

Well we went out today and caught about 4 Kahawai and lots of Carpet Sharks, a string ray and aBlind Eel but no Snapper??? Well we went out just off Kapiti Boat Club and started fishing about 200m north of the Club. We caught a Kahawai there and I also caught an undersized Blue cod… a bit random I thought considering we were over a sandy bottom. There must have been quite a bit of Blue Cod there, as our lines kept getting stripped of bait.

We decided to give drift fishing ago on Saturday. So we went out about 9:30am, with ideal fishing time guessed at about 12:50pm.

I know I know I’m combining 2 days together but I’m sure you will get over it. Anyway we did a lot of fishing last week and also on Saturday.
Friday Fishing
Friday was forecasted for bad weather, however by the time work ended it actually looked not to bad. So being new keen sea fisherman [...]

Caught a Snapper, Trevally, and Kahawai also tried out our home made down rigger

We did go out yesterday with not a lot of luck. We went out at Kapiti boat club just of the links tower at about 26m. We caught one Gurnard, unfortunately we found it to hard to get our lines to the bottom as the current was very strong as we predicted it would [...]

Some Days you just know that you have got the tide right the day right and the spot right. Other days you know its just bad fishing. Well yesterday was the best day fishing I have had so far (as the title of the post suggests) and all this just in front of the Paraparaumu [...]

Caught a Snapper and something large (we thinking large Snapper) snapped our rig twice.

Story
Went out fishing off Paraparaumu Beach again last night about 5:30pm. The Tide was pretty much low however there was a decent amount of chop on the water and the waves getting out were quite annoying. After filling the zodiac with water and bailing it out on the beach we decided to take our time [...]
