    Launching off Tauranga

    Hi all,

    Not having any bar crossing experience, Id love to fishing out Mayor Island off Taurang, I have a 5.8m senator but would rather not face a bar until I have done a bar crossing course.
    What are my options for launching into the ocean nearby?

    Thanks
    Darren

    bowingtown can be a bit dodgy at time as can the kaituna cut, but as gibo said just go out the entrance sulphur point is the most popular boat ramp. 5.8 senator piece of cake. its 20 nautical miles from the mount to southeast bay at mayor island.

    The skipper of that boat is a giant sack of shit.

    He just about did the same thing the day prior with a 10 year old on board with no life jacket.

    A fuckwit, mouth breathing, sack of shit that needs a fucking uppercut.

    Grrrrr

    I'm not arguing that he was an idiot, the pics clearly show the most basic mistake. But most bars can bite you if your not thinking.
