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

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.

After filling the zodiac with water and bailing it out on the beach we decided to take our time [...]
