Fishing at Papa Aroha - Coromandel
|
Main BeachGood spinning for kahawai all along the beach with snapper more common after dark. The snapper seem to respond well to fresh piper and sprats. 1st Point SouthSome good fishing to be had here amongst the kelp although you may find you get snagged a lot.

2nd Point South
This is the best spot. It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk here from
the campground. Access is best 3 hours either side of low tide, if the
tide is too high it can be difficult to get around the first point.
There are some fairly flat rocks that provide access to deep water just
off shore. Get a good burley trail going to bring in the sprats and
piper, the kahawai shouldn't be too far behind. One of the best baits
to use for snapper is fresh kahawai, either unweighted or with a very
small sinker. The snapper tend to hang back a bit so it usually works out
well to cast 30-40m. |
