on beaumont street you have to be a good caster. wear the big wheel is,, is the best place to fish because you can get out in the current. the locasl use really flexible tip rods and get out wear the fish seem to be. i watched three pollies catching there limited of snapper in under 3 hours last fri sat and sunday.]]> Sat, 09 Apr 2005 00:46:58 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8687&PID=113238&title=auckland-surf-casting-spots#113238 <![CDATA[Auckland Surf Casting Spots : I thought that Freemens Bay and...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8687&PID=113148&title=auckland-surf-casting-spots#113148 Author: deadman's tackle

No, Beaumont St is the one you turn down to get to Westhaven, first on the left if you come off the Northern City-bound at Fanshaw, or last on the right heading towards the Motorway.]]> Wed, 06 Apr 2005 17:15:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8687&PID=112869&title=auckland-surf-casting-spots#112869 <![CDATA[Auckland Surf Casting Spots : Beaum&#111;nt St is Freemans bay...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8687&PID=112739&title=auckland-surf-casting-spots#112739 Author: ringonz

Yeah, I suppose so, but there really isn't that much for tourists to see there...

And if te breeze turns the wrong way you get the lovely scent of diesel hard and strong.

Anyways, it was worth a shot, certainly seemed more likely than down under the bridge, but still more of a pass-time than a genuine fishing outing!

Hahaha those bloody japanese and their cameras, but i guess you gotta kinda expect that kind of thing if you're fishing in/near the city, just so many people around.

Tried Beaumont St Sunday morning, used Pilchard and had plenty of nibbles, and one good strike but it spat the hook. Nothing landed and nobody else hooked anything. More of a place to pass the time and practice casting. Good spot if you want to try dropping you line in pin-point spots - just aim for the trail of boats leaving Westhaven.

Nice little spot if it's not busy, but my morning was ruined when three tour buses bowled up one after another. First one was Ok, friendly tour guide came by and asked if anything was happening before leaving me in peace. The second one was ok, an older American chap wanted to talk fishing - he was a keen surfcaster and I could tell he just wanted to throw a line in as well.

Third tour bus bowls up and out comes a swarm of Japanese tourists. Made the mistake of leaving my rod for a second to prep some more bait and turn to find some lady had picked it up for a photo op. They then took turns standing by me to have their photo taken. I had enough, packed up and left - much to their disdain as a couple hadn't had their photo taken yet.

There are times when a man just wants to be left with his rod and his fish!]]> Mon, 04 Apr 2005 17:28:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8687&PID=112430&title=auckland-surf-casting-spots#112430 <![CDATA[Auckland Surf Casting Spots : end of beaum&#111;nt street in...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8687&PID=111946&title=auckland-surf-casting-spots#111946 Author: wrecker
