Drone Fishing

Flyer says:

Hi,


I am travelling a lot of New Zealand for my business and have a big van with my merchandise (welding equipment) so have plenty of room for my drone, rods, gear including vacuum packer etc.


On 9th Nov I will be in Marlborough area, 10th Westport, 11th Greymouth. I would like to try some local beach fishing in these places. Can anyone give me some suggestions for some spots that are reasonably easy access?


I have not booked accommodation yet so flexible where this could be also.


Kind regards Richard (novice fisherman)

Hi mate,


I can help you with that :)


Marlborough - try Rarangi Beach


Westport - the Beaches between Westport and Granity are quite good on an incoming tide. Better closer to Westport as it gets a bit rocky further towards Granity.


Greymouth is not so easy to fish. There is always a very strong northerly current. So you need really heavy sand sinkers and also have calm days and small tides. The Beach south of Greymouth could be an option if weather and swell permits.


Best baits down there would be shrimps, paddle crabs and maybe squid.


That's really helpful, thank you so much!!
