Hi mate, I live in Palmy and fish locally all the time. There is great fishing for Snapper and Gurnard all along the coast from Wanganui all the way down to Kapiti. I do 95% of my fishing off Tangimoana via the river mouth and always do very well. More than happy to offer some advice. Feel free to email me [email protected]
