ky ,sharks ,odd trev  caught at mouth ,good place for yellowtail off jetty at night  

lived adjacent to weiti river for 15 years and theres plenty of activity all the way up the river, my favourite spot is near duck creek just before the old stephensens concrete, there are plenty of small to medium sized snapper, as well as overgrown mullet and some very big kawai. Also there are alot of juvenile lemon fish and there are a few kingi's living up the river too. Definately worth a fish if you are living on the Whangaparaoa peninsula but even when its a little windy fishing off jetties is very difficult and its best to take a small boat or kayak out.

Hey Weiti Fisher, there seems to be plenty of wharves on Weiti River but are they mostly private? There looks like a couple of good ones off duck creek road (Stillwater) and one from the weiti boating club...are any of these open to the public...they look like good spots to pick up bait fish etc. Cheers Toaster

yeah never ever caught a shark over whangaparoa in 7 years but caught for in the last few months so anythings possible

took my little fella down for his first fish with his new fishing rod he got for his birthday yesterday before sunset - landed his first snapper on the second cast but alas that was it for the hour or so we were there.

It's murky which makes it great for predators. Have hooked massive rays and been smoked by them and whatever else many times. There seems to be an abundance of small kahawai up there. A freshly caught kahawai donged on the head and doing the epileptic dance does the trick. 

Why is murky water good for predators? I've heard stories of people catching sugar sacks full of fish there in the past so there might not be much left any more?

Yep sounds the ticket, I'd be tempted to fish from the Stillwater side, just past the last poles, nice sand bank and a bit of clear area. I've seen kingis working over Ky/bait a couple of times over the years. There's a chance to lead the fish away from all the bust offs maybe.

What about rubber banding a mack back from the last pole/boat, sounds like a nice warm evening, spring-ish high tide just turned going out thing to do?

Use a small jack mackerel to catch the Kingfish. Or top water stickbait...
