It is also served at a bar run by rump rustlers. That place should have closed years ago.

Always catch more than Dad if im running one and he is not.
Use berly, Salmon ones are awesome but dont last long,pilli ones good too.
Plain old ledger rig for us 2 hooks(flashers) sinker on bottom. Will also run a strayline out the back with a decent sized hook and big chunk of Kawai or barracuda.
Kawai and cuda are excellent bait.
Pillies are great to but you only get one bite per bait(which is fine if they are big and hungry).
We usually fish the edge of a structure where rock meets sand. You may have to fish the sand to get away from the cod Dave? Pay to check up on the cod regs.
Burly burly burly.

What he said, word for word except ther are no cod in the kenepuru( well the odd red cod) just spotties, thousands of spotties.
The dolls house is a name newbies have given to the old Humphries place. Iv got a soft bait rig you can borrow if you want.

Here is a die hard Red, Tui and Reineck drinker. Seems to favor drinking it out of a pole

Il show you when you get here, soft baits work anywhere.

Cheers, that would be great. Probably wouldnt be a good idea to have a hook in my one until I manage to get it near the water

Cheers S & F. Paddle crab for snapper bait ya reckon? Or did I read that wrong? I will be trying my luck at all times, otherwise my kids will pester the shit out of me. If they have a line in the water they are happy.

yip they are the go the bigger the better i put my net out just to get a bucket full

So ya can catch them up there? Would a baited opera trap work good enough?

Try the north side of the entrance about 300 yards into the sound about where the large clay looking boldery looking stones on the shore are...you maybe supprised.
