Originally Weymouth was a fishing village and a few holiday bachs
On the rocks at the end of the point?
60 odd yrs ago those rocks had nice muscles, beaches where nice sandy, occasional kingi, few snaps and carrots, always got KY.
I believe not a lot to be caught now (????)
We used to walk the flat weymouth beach with sack around the waist, 6" nail in the end of a broom stick, with a glass scew top marmite jar with light bulb mounted inside, jublee clip holding it to the broom stick just above the nail.
No wind for most of the day, in coming tide, any time between 10pm and 3 am.
Nice flounder, usually bigger than the frying pan.
But hey, you dont know till give it a go.
That area just nth a bit, near Wiroa island, between the creek and island could pick up potato sacks of scallops.
Quite a few ppl drowned as tide came and trapped them.
Then they built a bloody airport....
The old hunting grounds of Scot Dixon and Matt Watson as kids.
