Depends exactly where in endeavour it is your based. But no major reef areas in there so to speak.

Hi all - looking for some advice am heading to ngakuta bay for a weeks holiday with the family from next Sunday and am taking the boat (smartwave 3500 30 hp) and keen to get out for a fish. Any advice on spots would be great - would love to target a few snaps and carrots if possible but won’t be able to venture too far from the bay. Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers blue fox - thought that might have been the case they are just turning up in Wellington any advice on particular areas to target and depth?

Any locals keen on doing a mission together? Heading up to Okiwi bay for a week in 16th Feb and towing the boat up as well.

Just had a week at durville and outer pelourus. Where you heading up there?

Also a very good and upto date source of local Marlborough fishing is the Facebook group called fishing Marlborough. Well managed and local upto date

What's happening up at the pass now, with the garage closed, is there any arrangement for petrol supplies, anyone know.?

Could be a mish having to go to Elaine bay all the time.

16 or so of us going up again in march about the 26th year in a row.

Cheers.

Cheers, looks like well get a small towing tanker, and a ute full of jerry cans, elaine bay is the 2nd option, bit of a drive. but closer than okiwi or Havelock.

Feel for the locals, but it might cut down the rape and pillage of fish stock at christmas time.

I'm being relocated to Nelson for work and wondering if it is worth towing the boat down there for a several months? (from September)

Is a 5.5m center console big enough for the outter sounds? (conditions allowing etc)

Doesnt sound great, no snapper yet, no cold allowed until late December, kings arent prolific or XXXL. What do you guys catch in winter/spring? Maybe I just got the wrong idea based on the comments above about snaps and the cod being closed until Dec.

Was it always like this? Im sure I heard amazing things as a kid in  the late 60s/70s

I LOVE the area and was on my end game list, but BOI and Tutukaka produce big snaps and kings all year round. Still the sounds is such a gorgeous area, its not all about the fish.
