South Canterbury Surfcasting

I have been trying different spots around the Timaru area for the last few weeks. Here is what has been happening...

Beach Road. Not a lot for me, small school sharks mainly.

Hook Swamp. Small School sharks, poor condition red cod, dogfish

Pareora. Small school sharks

St Andrews. Not a lot apart from a random Salmon!?!

Browns Beach. THE spot. Mainly Elephant fish of good size with the odd run of RIG. Coming on in the evening and more productive 1 hour prior to darkness.

Using a 2 hook dropper rig and long strips or tentacles of squid.

Heading back out tonight as it looks like a good evening for it..

Hi Les
Heading out to Hook after lunch, there have been a few Elephant fish taken lately, also a very large 7 giller about a month ago still out there. Fishing Rakia this Sunday the 4th then the big Surf casting competition at Hook Beach on the 11th Dec, all welcome especially juniors.
All the best
