Coast Fishing Kapiti - Wellington, Paraparaumu, Raumati, Otaki, Mana, Pukerua Bay, New Zealand.

Though we all know there are plenty of sharks out in Kapiti and i would hate to see people move away from the beach however my brother went out surfing at Raumati South at the Esplande and a good size Shark finned beside him. Obviously he went straight in however this was only at waist [...]

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 [...]

We went out today and caught 4 Snapper, sized between 4kg – 7kg, drifting between Kapiti Boat Club and Raumati Beach, at a depth somewhere between 20 – 30m. We also caught another 2 pan size Snapper.

I caught two of the four large Snapper using the Snapper rig with a Large piece of Squid. My brother caught his two large Snappers on the Snapper rig using fresh Mackerel.

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.
