Thread: Old boys trip south - Canals

Hey guys, first time poster here and what a awesome site. My names John and my Dad is just turning 80 this month and to celebrate I have booked him a trip to the South Island to fish the canals as he has never been to the South Island and this is on his Bucklist. I was wondering if anyone could share some information on shimp fishing set ups and tips? Being of old age casting and retrieving is abit hard for the old boy so planning on parking him up with a cuppa and trying the shrimp method. Ill spin fish myself .
Also any help in terms of parking and which canal to start at would be greatly appreciated. We have 2 days before heading back to Christchurch . Can’t wait to get him down .

Cheers
