So I'm thinking of heading to the Far North in the next few weeks, anyone got the information on whats firing right now.
 
Tides to fish the area would be perfect. Any information much appreciated

I would hit Lottin Point if you are down that way. We went earlier this year and got a couple of kings and a few snaps. Not sure what its like this time of year though. Awesome spot even if you dont catch a thing. Plus if you stay at the lodge Bruno is a great host!!

Hard to look past a trip to E cape but maybe it's a bit early to be really firing down there yet.
Where's Inov8a when you need him?! I imagine Andrew's got an idea of which is likely to be fishing best at the moment.
Kingy mission this one I presume??

Yea I will hit Andrew up and see what could be going, East Cape will be a next year trip now- sounds as if its the best time to do it.
 
Far North I feel is the answer - plenty of places have been listed and we will envisage to do a few of them, thanks for all the help so far.

Why not try Great Barrier??? ... easy boat ride over, rent a car... and camp out where ever you feel the urge.

I think that would be right up there with Army Bay! :)

Drunken far north expedition instead George, fishing new ledges way more important!
Great Barrier would be awesome but we need more than a few days there, one or two weeks would be the go :)
 
Shakespeare has more potential if your looking for the skimpy clad Bas! Clap
 
Likewise with the PM's, Bas can't message you - you've sent to many today apparently?

Got your PM mate, Henderson's is Henderson bay and you need to go right or if you have an inflatable go out to the reef, it to is off to the right you cant miss it, bit of a bugger if you miss the turn off.

Bucks is spirits bay, easy access and hammered but the fish are there if your patient, personally i would do the island best accessed at low tide you can fish both side and have taken many a goody out of there, some great night fishing to be had there as well and off the beach.

Karikari, well Matai Bay and walk but dont leave anything in the car, scrotes live here.

Hihi would be another spot i would go best in an easterly and again some fine fish there just gotta be patient.

hope that helps a bit, remember big baits and bigger bust offs the north has it all.

you just gotta put in the hard yards mate.
