Family trip next Xmas, wondering what’s the fishing like. Currently looking for a drive to Bach. Heard the fishing is hard and there are a few rules that us Taranaki crew will need upskilling on
Cheers

Which part of the sounds? Sounds is a huge area
Drivable from Picton within an hr and half. Haven’t got a place locked in yet. So Kenepuru, Te Mahia, Havelock are our current thoughts.
Rodger...to be fair that gives you huge range of area. So cod season will be open , gurnard should be on the chew , snapper definitely. Let me know once batch booked ..big difference between inner sounds fishing and outer sounds ..reefs tides and targeting fish. Will try to help
Roger that, cheers. If you know anyone with a mint batch/spot that isn’t already booked, let me know.
And what does cod season imply? Size, numbers, ect..
Inner sounds from 1st September to 20th of December cannot take cod (from memeory).2 cod per person mm size 33cm .regs are on mpi website.
Outer sounds all year ..two cod pp 33 cm min size
Personally try to book in okiwi bay (nelson side of picton ) outer sounds .its got everything you want cod gurnard kings snapper , swimming beach for kids ..if weather goes shit rock fishing at French pass will provide a meal ..and I know a bloke who knows the local area
