The Clutha River Mouth, near Kaitangata in South Otago, is one of New Zealand’s top kahawai fishing spots. Anglers often find large schools gathering in the slack water where the incoming and outgoing tides meet. The best action occurs around two hours after low tide, especially when the water is clean and clear. Fish the north side of the mouth for the best results, and be mindful of the strong current when hooked kahawai run downstream. Dawn and dusk are prime times to target these hard-fighting fish.
