Thread: Evans Bay?

Just moved to Evans Bay (wellington), anyone know if you can catch anything out here? See people practically outside my door (live across the road from the water) fishing on the weekends but i've never seen anyone catch anything.
Thoughts? Don't want to walk out there and look like a damn fool

Cheers.

Angus

Give it a go Angus. Nothing to lose but a bit of time.

Know of more people catching at oriental bay.

Hutt river mouth in seaview is good for kahawai.

Just pack a rain coat!

Heh yeah, what the heck is up with this rain??! Will give it a go when it clears up and report my findings

my advice for evens bay Angus is to either get a kyak and fish the head rocks or pick your tides and fish using a ballon to keep our bait out of the snags mate.early morning fish the gutters on low tide north of the surf club for kahawai.Or wind permitting mate cruze over to mirimar wharf or further around by the old naval base and again fish using a ballon grab your bait straight from the rocks(pipies mussels).Ive fished these areas for yonks mate you do have to wrok abit at it just getting to know the areas to fish and how to fish them once to sort that youll get plenty for the table all year round.and berly up especially from the rocks.

next time im down ill take ya for a flick i visit my old girl in strathmore thats when i get out for a fish bro.these days im usually watching my boys fish which is exciting in its self.last time i was down my 5 year old( dougie was sweet talked by this 5 year old) managed to snag a stingry which pulled ilke a bastard and he was fighting it like a champ ,that was just on seaton wharf mate.

pm sent . can be a bit slow but you can catch allsorts in evans. but if you can go round the south or east coast, much more bettera fushing . try mussel baits

Seriously, this kid is five and could sweet talk the pants off Nigella

"Dougie, would you like to maybe stay for dinner?"
"Yeah okay, if it's okay."
"Dad!! She said yes!!!! ...Dougie...do you think maybe you'd like to stay the night for a sleep-over?"
"Yeah sure! If it's okay with you."
"DAD!!!!!!! Dougie is going to stay. You'll have to go home and get your PJs first though."
