Just asking because we used to live in this cottage for a year or so back in the mid 1990's. It's at Paritu Bay just before Fantail.

I fish that coast quite a lot, know of those little cottages.., by the second granite wharf?
The exs family were quarry operators up there, so some interesting history.
you can't fix an idiot with duct tape, but it does muffle them for a while...

Me too great spot!

used to fish that area alot late 80s, 90s and it was amazing. Even fished it in the last 10 years but always seen plenty of people on the rocks all along the coast there when I've gone past
