Now I know what I am looking for I will certainly be doing some investigations all around tasman bay.
@veitnamcam, we've got the Manukau Harbour off our front lawn and across a reserve, high today of 3.37, low of 0.79, diff of 2.58m, all flows out through the Manukau Heads, the bar has claimed a few...., it's a big harbour, muddy though.Quote:

You were just looking at arse...... own up :)Quote:

@stretch might be able to add info about the scally beds, they're in his area, guys from work get some when it's a super low tide, they boat in and wait for the tide to ebb I believe.Quote:

No first-hand knowledge of the scallop beds rumoured to be in the Waiuku channel between Clarks Beach and Matakawau. Last I heard from a local fisherman mate was that it has been plundered and/or covered in mud. The tide absolutely rips past the point across Clarks Beach, and the mud flats go out for a good couple of km before you hit the channel. Might go for a walk at next superlow tide...Quote:

I've caught scallops at Clarks Beach quite a few times. Never deeper than chest height water at low tide. Last time was probably 8 years ago though as the viz is generally only about 20-30cm and I've since worked out how many great whites live in the manukau from fishing reports. On the same weekend I went two white sharks were caught 5km away from each other but only 30 mins apart. Can think of way better places to catch a feed...
