oh yup another good spot is down stream a bit by footbridge by murphy park also the boat ramp by the swing bridge and the bmx track is also a good spot
Live baiting a mullet worked a treat off the Avondale bridge last year …caught a fat trout that would have gone over 10lb …..bastard was stealing my mullet I was catching for bait ..
would be interesting to see what happened if a ranger was there when you caught a trout. I’m not sure that bycatch would be a valid defense. There’s plenty of trout fishers who are mostly catch and release fishers. and tehy still need a licence.
anyone been up to kaikoura lately? am heading down there tomorrow will take the rods as usual.
Have just called Fish and Game and they told me I would not need a license as I’m not targetting the trout. As long as I release it, it’s all good. Just like fiery said.
