Yup follow the road heading north (matapouri road) there is a road called landowners lane that ends at a car park there is a track there to tutukaka heads and you can fish from there or head down the hill into the gully there is a house down there and head for the rocks to the right of the bay at low tide. OR alternatively follow matapouri road and there are some good rock hopping spots aorund there (I think that is where the mermaid pools are in matapouri) there is a track to your left at the norht end of the beach and you can get around to the rocks  from there too easy at low tide can mostly walk on sand but high tide is a ***** to get out getting across a 5 foot wide gap in the rocks (peoole snorkel for crays in that area) for the prick of a climb in and out at high tide the fishing is worth it straylining whole unweighted pillies is the way to go up there to save losing gear on the foul.

Thanks guys. I am looking forward to it.

take a burley bomb or two with you to get that dinner bell ringing
