Hi All
My understanding is that for the Auckland region the pipi limit is only 50 but outside that, including Marsden Pt, the limit is 150. I was up there about a month ago and was really annoyed that people drove their 4x4s  along the beach from near Ruakaka to get pipis.  What's wrong with parking near the refinery and walking to the pt? In the early 70's I worked at the refinery and had access to the jetty. Some nights fishing consisted of a stick with a piece of string, a wire for a hook and some white material. Great for yellowtail. Basic but it worked. Have fun. MRQT.

Went and fished there on friday evening, pleanty of kahawai and trevally, but they were largely juvenile ones (we put a couple of better ky we caught early on back hoping that we'd catch bigger later on) mate hooked into something decent that managed to find a wharf pile and bust off, possibly a small king as the older asian couple that were there said they'd caught and released a 52cm one.

went again on sat morning at dawn, more juveniles, mate got one decent trev 40 sumthing odd cm, had some guys come along in a 4wd fishing whilst playing mai FM pretty loud, mariah carrey and craig david just aren't good fishing music...   they put out a kahawai livebait but instead of a baloon or float or sinker or having it free running they had a 1/2 squashed waikato draft can tied on at the swivel Confused, it got nailed though...


...by a shag! LOL


came back again for the evening, the spot we fished the other times was taken up by a guy teaching his little son how to fish, cast etc, so we went a bit furthur over to the left and gave enough room so that lines wouldn't cross or fish wouldn't run over lines in the strong current, then along comes this asian bloke with his 3 sons and parks themselves (4 rods) between the 2 groups and then they proceed to cross over everyones lines and use sinkers which were too small to hold in the current to throw out small hooks then decided to keep every kahawai that came in from 35cm down to piddly 15cm and they caught lots too, really peeved me off. was kinda hoping to see them take an undersized trev so i could have reported them, or had a go at them or something, but they just caught and killed juvenile kahawai hand over fist and as the fishing regulations currently sit there's nothing that's illegal about that (pleanty that's wrong with it though).

Ive always been amazed at the size of the pipis on that bank, and tuatuas as well in amongst them.  Last time I was there was in a thunderstorm and one of the bolts of lightning struck a boat, that made the hairs on my neck stand up!  Luckily no one was in it at the time.
 
Going for a scollie dive tomorrow in the harbour, and maybe a dive along the coast for some bugs if that swell isn't wraping around the heads.

im not sure on size but limit is 150 per person ,personally i wouldn't take any under 50 mm as they be to small once you shell them..then again you gota find the empty shells when i throw them back once ive picked a bag im usually too full to carry them back ..]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:18:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32296&PID=454125&title=marsden-point#454125 <![CDATA[Marsden Point : I totally agree with you mate....]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32296&PID=454114&title=marsden-point#454114 Author: shoby
