Thread: Advice please - Lower N Island east coast

Fellas

This coming summer hols is the first time in a while that the missus and the kids and me are all gonna go away together.

We are remote camping types - fully equipped. We are allergic to lots of people.

The boys want to fish and mum wants to park off and do bugger all. It'll be surf casting, rock fishing and jettys. We love fresh smoked kahawai so good kahawai spots are always appreciated.

The part of the country that we've not traveled much before is the lower N Island from Hawkes Bay down to Cape Palliser. Do any of you wise fisho wizards have some tips for good spots where we can camp (assuming small holiday parks) and fish and generally relax without battling the hordes? Somewhere like Herbertville?

No idea what the coast is like along there as I've only ever been to that coastline once, and I can't remember.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.
