Thread: Land based trip info

Hey team!

Trying to plan a epic trip with a couple of my young fellas over labour weekend and an extra couple of days either side.
Planning on driving north as far as I need to on the first night and then coming back down going to stay at Te kaha in the middle of the trip to freshen up and clean up fish etc (got a bach to stay at) and fish Omaio beach and come back down the east coast poking my nose around and fishing and camping possibly finishing off the fishing part at Te Araroa or thereabouts.
Just looking for a nice spot to base at for the first day or so that could throw up some epic catches , nice camping etc to really make this a trip to remember for the kids.
Anyone have any suggestions or info that they wouldn't mind sharing?
I'm not usually one to ask for help and I know that spots like this are fiercely guarded , but this will be a once off (I'm not going to go back and slay up or share any info that is passed onto me)
I'm based in Hawkes Bay and are more than happy to help out anyone that ever needs a hand if you find yourself here and need a hand with anything to return the favour (broken down car , tyre problems , or anyone that finds themselves here for a weekend and needs some insider info as to where the fishing has been going good etc)
I know some will find this cheeky and won't want to help but I know that this forum is also full of some absolute GC's who don't mind throwing some people some bones at times
Feel free to PM those suggestions so the whole world doesn't see and everything will be kept super confidential


Cheers Brad
