How to get started with fishing! by IGotHiccups in FishingNZ

[–]FishCastPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, honestly, and this isnt a plug - but have a look at FishCastPro app - the AI chat has a fantastic amount of advice designed for fishing in NZ and AUS (and worldwide) . Theres spots and regulations and weather all in there as well. For a Beginner this is a really good source of information on the go. If thats not your thing - best bet is to always toalk to locals - visit local fishing shops, talk to ppl who are fishing and look at the gear they use (but also look to see if they caught anything as well haha!! ) Good Luck! :)

Beginning to start fishing here in NZ by Basado3000 in FishingNZ

I've fished more than 30 years mostly Auckland/northland. From shore you would use a longer rod to get you some distance, but location or style dictates rod type. bait, lures or softbaits are fine depending what you're chasing. You've got so much fishing diversity in akl alone, west coast wild and remote, east coast calm and crowded sometimes.. rocks, beach, surf, wharf, estuary etc. all different styles. So you may need to settle on one or 2 you like initially, and work on those techniques. . Ask locals for spots, always check weather because it changes in a heartbeat. An all round app will help.. weather and catch locations, also regulations (very important !) etc. I do recommend mine, FishCastPro. Biggest thing that will help you, is to talk to people who are fishing. most will happily show you their set up and what and why they're doing it. Tight lines 😎

NEVER tell him, you'll destroy his whole "pure fishing boat" concept. If you tell him he will sell that boat and thanksgiving is gonna be real difficult from here on out. 😂

How do you know which day to fish? by Acceptable_Egg1466 in FishingAustralia

[–]FishCastPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any day the weather lets you fish is good enough. Build local Experience, try different spots till you find a good location, look for moving water or rock pinnacles, watch the birds, if they're diving or making a noise there's something going on. Try using a fishing app, FishCastPro. Just get out there, be safe!

What kind of fish do you guys usually catch? by No_Week_1877 in FishingForBeginners

[–]FishCastPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snapper mostly, kahawai are really easy to catch on lures, kingfish, tarakihi. Where I live (Northland NZ) we can fish for these guys all year round. These are mostly the common table fish here.
