Thanks Adam....
Garden Patch Gut aka Paua Gut?
again I appologise for the 500pixel extention for these images, but I think the information is important......do as I say not as I do....
thanx.....
Yeah the waters around Karikari can get snotty, when you get the water coming out of Doubtless and also coming out from Houhora meeting around off Karikari there, with a NE swell hitting the rise around he Garden patch, the seas can get steep. Not nice in any boat let along a trailer boat.
The area names are not very hard to figure out why they are called them, except for maybe the Clay Works. This got its name because to find it in the days before GSP's you had to line the Clayworks on the hill at Matauri bay up with the end of the bay or something and head out to the 200m line (I think).
I think it's the tip of Little Step Island?

You could add Maramahuta to the map. It is on the 100m line directly into Doubtless from the Berghan pins. Is an old hapuka spot that also produces Marlin & Mako.
Also I think you have Cavalli seamount around 35-40 miles too close in (by my reckoning is around 68NM out) It is a big day in a trailer boat.

email me the GPS co-ords and happy to add them...
Cavalli Seamounts and the 60mile ground one and the same?...Adam??
I didn't think so either Adam.....just wanted to get some clarification on Odin's post.
Odin...
I assume it is the 60mile Ground you are refering to that is 68miles off the coast?? I have fished out there with Primetime and you are right it is a bloody long way, where as the Cav Seamounts are much closer.
prepared to place your bets early Obald??.....
