Fishing New Zealand covers over 100 of the best places for catching fish in New Zealand from kingfish off the ledges under the Surville Cliffs at North Cape to 4kg snapper in the inner Waitemata (on the edge of the channel on the 3rd red marker out from the Westhaven Marina) to fishing at Tolaga Bay at the end of NZ?s longest wharf to catching blue cod in the Kelp forests off the Otago coast. This book covers not only the best spots around New Zealand, but also fishing from wharves and dinghies to beaches and offshore. Written by well-known TV fishing front-man (Sky Sport, Fishing New Zealand) and fishing writer Adam Clancey, the book includes over 150 colour photographs including practical shots of rigs and great shots of the big fish. Also included is an extensive introduction covering fishing techniques, rigs and baits, weather conditions and boating safety. Side bars throughout the book detail local accommodation (camp grounds, etc.) and shopping facilities. Each area covered includes a quick list of fishing gear and baits for the location and any local tricks and tips. Each spot shows the type of fishing available (beach, rock, wharf and/or boat), how to get there, best baits and rigs, fish species and best time of year to catch, details that can make or break a fishing trip.
