![]() I do agree with you man. Maybe I'll do just that. Mixing things up adds the "extra" uncertainty on chances of getting the fish, but honestly, being a crazy LBG lure angler, forever casting for elusive fish with high chances of not catching anything is already part of the deal...but man that one strike on the surface is all the counts! |
![]() You shouldn't have much problem as most public / private land is fairly obvious. Department of Conservation (DOC) and council reserves are all OK as well as the coastline if you can get round it without climbing over fences etc. There is the odd exception that might catch you out like the large hill beside Spirits Bay camping ground in the Far North. Around the rocks is fine (and great fishing for Kingi's) but don't climb the hill. Here is a website that should help as it shows all NZ public outdoor access: https://maps.walkingaccess.govt.nz/OurMaps/ |
![]() Hey Pedro Like others, I'd recommend Feb, or even March, for your trip here. I'd be looking to spend a bit of time in 2-3 key locations/areas that give you a number of fishing options. So coro for a week, far north, mid north etc. That gives you a bit of time to try different spots, tides, etc and allows for when the weather doesn't play ball. Presume you will hire a vehicle or something for your time here? That will be key. I am usually based in Coro most of Dec-Feb so happy to catch up for a fish and hit some of the lessor well known spots in that area. |
![]() There's an app called Rankers, that lists all of the camping areas in NZ (paid, free and Department of conservation). It shows them on a live map with gps, has comments and photos next to each one too, and links to phone numbers and Google maps directions.. Having travelled to the cape and the coromandel, I can tell you you won't find many freedom camping spots that allow tents (mobile homes / vans only). There are some DoC sites - more so along the coast to the cape than coro, but look on Rankers. I use it all the time. And it's free. |
