Hi, I reguarly launch at Bucklands Beach, the (Barracuda) Public Ramp (Any Tide with a jetski at that ramp) Many trips I have been around Rakino to the back of the Noises and frequently to the Maria's along with other trips to the Ahhaas. Realistically on my Yamaha FX HO 160,I would have know problem getting to Gannet, if I found it was worth the trip, usually there is sufficient fishing as close as Motuihe.

Hey Fishoe, I  go straight out to Motuihe under 10 minutes. Sit in around 7-9 mtrs deep and never came home with an empty chilly bin. This was in the summer though. As a female, I enjoy the PWC fishing, I can go out on my own or with the kids. ( Usually leave the kids at home with the husband!) I come home only after a few hours, and always impress him with the chilly full. I launch it myself and love pulling up at the end when everyone cant believe I am out there let alone the fish in the chilly bin. That feeling is priceless ( I would never take a boat out)
