Thread: Surfcasting in Wellington

Anyone in the Wellington region keen on teaching someone the ropes?
Pretty new to it and don’t really know what I’m doing so far but keen as

Post a photo of you gear! Can you tie knots , what are you chasing snapper , cod, moki, rig ! Do you have transport and are you a good barstard? Can you fillet fish , and tell a good yarn ? So many questions ...do you have a spot to share!

I have a 14 foot Jarvis walker revenge. Not that sure what the line on it is. Whatever the whacked on there in the shop. My knots aren’t amazing but I’m getting there and I’m targeting basically anything that’ll bite so far! I’ve tried a few spots so far with not a lot of luck. Took the kids out to wainui beach but the swells were pretty big and I couldn’t cast over them. I’m basically looking to get a few tips from someone who knows what they’re doing and hopefully meet some good folk on the way

Go see Pete Lamb in Rongotai.

Have had good results at boom rock around makara if you’re prepared for an hour walk

Go to Ocean beach, good surf casting at first light, no secret to it, attach a rapala lure and go hard.

Worked in Hinakura for a couple of years and would venture out towards castle rock......cape palliser as well......Surfcasting,a great way to pass the time....your right ,no secret to it,get out there and do it....
