Land-based Fishing Hub

With fishing from land now permitted in New Zealand's current lockdown regulations, many of you might be heading to your local bit of coast to get your fishing fix. If you're new to the sport or are looking to blow off some cobwebs, then check out the series of useful articles below to help get you started.

The Land-based & Surfcasting Forum is the home of discussion for all things landbased. Should you have any questions about land-based fishing, you're bound to be met with some positive, helpful and qualified responses from other like-minded members - that's if it hasn't already been addressed in the extensive list of existing conversation threads.
