Nothing from the rocks at Rarawa??? It does happen but I'd be heading back there as have seen some big snapper come from there over the years but yeah like any spot can have its off days.

Also Hendersons Bay wouldn't be far from there, also worth a go.

I also fished off a ledge on the inside of the Houhoura harbour years ago but cant remember exactly where it was. Between the wharf and harbour entrance i think. Didnt have much luck there anyway from memory.

3 options :

1. End Of Hendersons - hell walk along the sand - 4wdriveable or 4 wheel bike.

2. Rarawa produces heaps of big Snapper - all the fish you see in the fishing news caught in Hendersons Bay are caught round there. You have to wade the creek and walk round - you can only go so far before you need a kayak/inflatable.

3. Get over the other side of the harbour and walk round to the point or walk over the hill (think this might be private property)

Take the Hendersons Bay turnoff about 10 minutes north of Houhora and drive to end of road and then start walking  south to Greville Point- it's a long walk on soft sand!Climb the farmers fence and walk out to the end of the point.

I remember being chased by some very unfriendly goats a few years back.

To be honest , if you've gone as far as Houhora then you're only about an hour from Cape Reinga - heaps better fishing.

Hey there Smudge,

Thanks heaps for the offer, but I might be a bit late, as I get back to New Zealand on the 18th of Feb, so realistically will be up there around the 20th for a couple of days maybe.

Should be good!

Chubb, thanks for that, exactly the info I am looking for.  When I stand and look from the end of the road, I go a bit blank, thinking, is it worth the walk???  Will give it a crack though.  Cape Reianga and the Parengarenga Harbour are also realistic options too, but where???

Cheers!
