Hey guys

I’m moving to pokeno in a month and want to get into a bit of top water so I’ll be hitting either port Waikato or Kawakawa bay. I’ve never top water fished before and just want to know where I could go or what type of research I could do to get into some spots. What would I need to look for regarding a spot like tides, current etc. what do you guys do before hitting a area?

Thanks

have a look on google maps for spots that look fishy, and go cast Smile

hard to find bait landbased but berley can let you know if they are at least present or not

& and dont expect to catch fish. topwater is hard off a boat let alone landbased. its certainly do able though!
