Have fished a couple of times in Wellington harbour off Oriental Parade with a few kahawai etc caught. Anyone got any good tips/ spots to try in the harbour or further abroad? |

undoubtedly the case. One of the big advantages of the yak is the inclination to stay out later with easier launching/retrieval and much less cleanup required. |

Welcome to kayak fishing! Just try different spots and you will find the fish. Evans bay has been good lately, for surfcasters especially, so would be worth a shot (was going there last night but wind decided elsewhere). Between Scorching bay and seatoun can be good too for tarakihi (and anything else really), or south coast tarakina for Blue Cod (mostly in my experience but again, anything else could be there and often teri's). I have had good days in most different areas of the harbour, the ones above as well as eastbourne side, I think often its just the right place on the right day. I would recommend buddying up with someone before going out the west coast if you are new to the game. Currents can get strong and conditions can get nasty fast. Plenty of people here would be happy for you to tag along i'm sure (myself included). There is also a facebook group if you aren't already on it with even more people who you may be able to arrange an outting with. I was thinking about plimmerton tonight but with the SE wind I think I will go to pukerua so if you can make it, feel free to tag along as should be at least 4-5 of us meeting up around 6ish. Fishing has been a bit slow there lately though.. |
