At the beach it is just you and your rod versus the fish. You might be after a fish for dinner or just like surfcasting for fun. You have come to the right place. Pacific Coast Adventures can take you to the best spots on the EBOPs coastline. From Matata to Waiotahi. Species we often catch are Snapper, Kahawai, Gurnard, Trevally and King Fish.

Gathering shellfish is a great activity and a really good family outing. You can hunt for your own underfoot or set out on a search and combine shellfishing with a nature expedition and guide. Species we often find are Pipi, Tuatua (cockles), Mussells and Kina.

Rock Fishing

Rock fishing is a great way to get into fishing without going to the expense of buying or hiring a boat. Rock fishing tends to be more productive than beach fishing and with some basic information and a little local knowledge, you'll soon be able to catch a feed of fish from the rocks. Pacific Coast Adventures know all the best spots including the Whakatane Heads, Otarawairere and West End Ohope. Species we often catch are Snapper, Kahawai, Gurnard, Trevally and King Fish.

Long Lining

Timer controlled and operated by a simple toggle switch. Simply launch in knee deep water, stand back and watch. Matata to Waiotahi.
