Fishing From the Rocks & the Beach in NZ

You don’t necessarily need a boat to access some of New Zealand’s best inshore fishing. In fact, with the price of fuel and the wider cost-of-living squeeze making every day on the water increasingly expensive, there has probably never been a better time to rediscover what can be caught with two feet planted firmly on the land.

Landbased fishing is accessible, relatively affordable, and available almost everywhere in New Zealand. From surf beaches and harbour entrances to remote rock ledges accessing electric blue water, our coastline offers opportunities for everyone from complete beginners to highly specialised landbased game fishers.
