Thread: Manawatu surfcasting tips

The river mouth out at Foxton has been a bit hit and miss the past couple of months for decent size fish but there is always something around that keeps it interesting. I normally head out on the Foxton side of the river about 200 m short of the mouth and bung the line straight out as far as I can get it. Obviously first and last light yield the best results, but dead low or hour ever side of high goes pretty good. I use half pillies on a running rig tied on with bait cotton, change baits every 20min or so as there are a heap of smaller bait fish about. Busy at work at the moment but normally head out every wed afternoon. There has been a few rather large Kahawai heads left in the same spot recently so someone is doing well...
