Yeah, some good spots over there for sure Bas. Just look at that munter that your club mate Peter Reynolds pulled out from over there a couple of years back.

I've fished Motutapu, but that was for a mates stag do, so more time was spent drunken than anything else. Fark hiking over those hills out of there!

ahh Ted Audain...loves his boulder bays that fella

and the man can fly too slipped off a cliff fell 80 odd ft when the others got to him (this is at night) expecting the worst he's all ready got the burley going and the first fish comeing in . only afew cuts and abrasions to show . lucky Ted 

Waiheke fired over the weekend! After reading the weather forecast I wasn't sure that I would get any fishing done, but it cleared hard out and away we went. At 'the spot' on the rocks, me and the lad were in to snapper 35-40cms within minutes and kept slayin' them all day. I enjoyed a mammoth fight with a 9 pounder that must have been on steroids - he just robbed me reel blind. Our girls came down to see us with sandwiches in tow, bless 'em so we set them up with some rods and they were smashing them as well! In all we caught roughly 20 snapper and a sizeable blue cod in a little under two hours and kept only the last three caught to wave over the manuka. Criminally fun fishing...

I like your style guys... nice effort and nice feed to for the table!!!

That's true, Mr LC. The lad works on a winery in Waiheke and is part of managing access to the beach, usually that means telling rod holders to 'Foxtrot Oscar'. But excellent if you know someone in the know! Tell you what, next time we head out there I'll track you down via a subject header or pm you? Otherwise it's tough to get there. I wish I had a photo of the actual spot though, talk about ticking every box for snapper.

PS had a great time on the rocks and caught a nice kahawai! Used strips of bulllet tuna.
