Video Title: How to Catch Yabbies with a Bait Pump. Video Description: Live yabbies make great bait for mullet, flounder, kahawai and other species. To catch yabbies you need a bait pump like the one shown in this video to suck them up out of the sand. It is also a fun activity for the whole family. I have had this stainless steel Alvey bait pump for many years and it's still going strong.

View looking north-east from the cliffs above the Hurunui River mouth, February 2017.

Sometimes the river can exit the lagoon at the far end near the hills at the top left of this picture. When it does anglers have a long walk to get to the mouth proper.more

In this photograph big sweeper waves can be seen coming over the shingle spit on the south side of the Hurunui River mouth during the top of the tide. Salmon anglers wisely wear life-jackets and keep a constant eye on the sea when fishing these more dangerous spots.more
