Hi there guys.

My name is Stu, first time posting in this forum.

Arrive in Auckland-NZ tomorrow and just wanted to pick your guys brains for any info or tips on where to fish/spearfish. Will be in NZ for a month with a campervan and aiming to drive around both North & South island.
Any tips on the best spots for catching dinner from the shore would be greatly appreciated.

Also if anyone is heading out during the month of April whilst im here, I would really enjoy meeting new people to dive with and for the added benefit of not diving alone.

Many thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you guys.

Cheers

Stu

Try facebook man. Search for spearfishing, spearo, etc. There are lots of local pages, clubs etc, as well as NZ wide pages.

Not sure what the spear fishing is like in Manukau heads but I'll be going for a scuba dive during the month of April when conditions allow. Your welcome to get in water with me
Why choose either diving or fishing when you can do both. Besides crayfish tail is very good bait!!

If you are on Facebook look up the "NZ Spearo Community".  Spearos from all round the country there and some helpful guys who will point you in the right direction (depending on where your travels take you).

I've got a project going live at the end of April and a bunch of other stuff on so I'm not going to be able to get out spearfishing myself.
