Up in Castlepoint

I’ve recently bought a new surf caster, and been getting out and about the harbour for a few hours fishing. There’s lots of opportunities here, whether it’s off the various piers, walls and rocks. Jayne and I drove up 2 hours north of Wellington to Castlepoint at the weekend, to fish off the infamous ‘suicide rock’ shelf, about 10-15 meters up from the sea. We were blessed with good weather for the 4 or 5 hours that we were out there. I ended up picking up 3 Kahawai, 2 on a rig, 1 spinning, though all pretty small in size. Definitely a place I want to head back to and spend longer. The new rod is working out ok, but it’s pretty heavy so I can’t do long bouts of spinning.
