all hail westie!. you are off to a good start, at least you know how to spell its name correctly,good one mate. now all you have to do is educate 90% of the fisho's who insist its spelt raurima....ie "the raus".
have a good look at a chart before you venture into here as there are a few nastys just below the surface.
best to get "livies" just out through the whakatane heads.
the rurima area holds fish all year, snapper, kingies, tarakihi, trevelly and maomao.
go into shallow water and berley up heaps for best results.
tasman reef is towards the west as well and there are smaller reefs inside, towards the shore. ask the locals, the iceman etc they will help. good luck.

Little rock to the sth of the raus thats marked on the plotter as a dotted circle,very good terakihi spot on the incoming tide with a wee bit of burley you will be surprised what turns up..
