Hey guys I’m new to signing up but been reading for some time! So I started about 2 years ago up in Kerikeri around the bay of islands and was clearly blessed as I was getting a feed fairly regularly, been travelling around and have not had success for almost a year and a half!! I’m currently living in riverhead and need some good rocks to fish from, I’m keen to try Stanmore Bay, read some good things on here from 2004 and 2012 but I can’t narrow down any Rocky outcrops from google maps or anything in the forums. I’m happy to do a fair bit of driving, maybe like up to 2 hours but obviously closer the better! Please help a young fisherman find a reliable spot!!!!

some great info below from NZ Fishing World, which used to be a great mag in print, but sadly went the way of a lot of magazines these days. Thankfully they still have a useful online library or old articles.
